There's been a lot of media coverage around the News of the World hacking scandal this week, it appears that Lulzsec has stepped up against the parent company, Media Corp's other publications and has hacked Rupert Murdoch's major newspapers website, The Sun.
The website today redirected to an article on a elaborate copy of the official Sun website, that claimed Rupert Murdoch had died, and had been found in his garden.
The Lulzsec official Twitter account claimed they were behind the hack, tweeting; "We have owned Sun/News of the World - that story is simply phase 1 - expect the lulz to flow in coming days." and with a later tweet saying "The Sun's homepage now redirects to the Murdoch death story on the recently-owned New Times website. Can you spell success, gentlemen?"
Oh sweet irony. I am not much of a fan of those that hack websites, but considering the garbage that Murdoch and his minions are involved with, I think this time I will side with the hackers.
Here's something OT, but quite relevant to any discussion of SP and politics.

The sick and funny part of this is it will be emblazoned all over FAUX today that News Corpse was hacked—you know, just like everyone else. It will be the real first and only news that bad comedy network puts on about the hacking. They'll have updates and warning bells galore about some "liberal" site threatening Murdoch.
ReplyDeleteThis might actually make Murdoch happy . . . .And lets face it, the happy for him has been fleeting as of late. lol.
You can only make this shit up if you have really good herbal refreshments.
"MURDOCH TO SELL FOX NEWS TO AL JAZEERA FOR UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT." God is Great!
ReplyDeleteOh, if only they could hack into Faux Noise TV and just leave a static blue screen. Or redirect to MSNBC. Oh, the pandamonium in Teabag Land!
ReplyDeleteKarma, baby, Karma!
ReplyDeleteThis is little compared to the sting his victims have endured over the years, especially the family of that young, beautiful girl who was murdered.

ReplyDeleteFrom your word to the higher power of your choice's ears!
Love your idea, sheer genius!
Personally, I wish they had not done this. It just opened the door for distraction away from Rupert Murdoch and his evil empire, stupid.
ReplyDeleteIt also gave the evil empire an out, showing that "it's rampant", not just in their business, again stupid.
And the guy with the foam pie? gah, stupid again, a distraction and garnered sympathy for an old man being attacked.
If it wasn't so pathetic I'd think it was planned by the evil empire.
