Hacking

July 19, 2011 at 8:11 am

With every newsreader and lazy journalist in the world apparently ignorant of what the word ‘hacking’ actually means, it’s about time that some of the real gurus in the field made themselves available.

LulzSec have taken down a raft of News International sites, including The Times, the Sunday Times, the Sun, the old News of the World site and News International itself. They’ve also compromised an older Sun test server and retrieved a raft of address lists and contact details which they are releasing. It’s not up to date but it is nevertheless interesting to those who are interested in such things.

This morning the sites listed above are just down, but before they collapsed entirely readers of the Sun were directed to a spoof news story supposedly reporting the death of Rupert Murdoch.

TheEye will be patiently waiting for a refund on the recently purchased iPad Times subscription…and waiting, and waiting, probably.

All of this nonsense leads us to the newest and breaking story of the Murdochalypse*….why can’t LulzSec work out how to use apostrophes?
