Few days after the TIME magazine had excluded Egypt's General Sisi from the final 10 list for TIME’s Person of the Year, though he already won the reader poll, a person claiming to be part of the Anonymous hackers group posted an online video threatening to get TIME’s website hacked.
Sisi garnered some 449,596 votes, (26.2%) of the total votes, emerging victories over Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who received 356,771 votes (20.8%), and Miley Cyrus, who received 279,300 (16.3%).
