The NYT reports that New York Magazine website went off-line hours after posting a story featuring 35 women who have accused the comedian Bill Cosby of sexual abuse and the article was inaccessible on Monday morning. "Our site is experiencing technical difficulties. We are aware of the issue, and working on a fix," the magazine posted to its main Twitter account early Monday morning.

A user called Vikingdom2016 claimed responsibility for a DOS attack on the site and said the attack was based on a hatred for New York, and was not related to the cover that features Mr. Cosby's accusers. As the website remained off-line, editors were working to find other ways to publish the piece, which the magazine said took six months of work.

On Monday morning, the magazine began posting audio related to the cover article on Instagram. The story is available at Web.Archive.Org's Wayback Machine.

    I recall some article I read a while back where Corey Feldman tells a story about how his friend Corey Haim told him about how was raped by some Hollywood pervert on a studio lot when he was 11. Very disturbing to read about this happening to a child.

    Hollywood is a paradise for paedophiles.
    Producers can easily exert their influence on young actors.
