LulzSec hack into Murdoch newspapers

LulzSec hack into the Sun and the Times

set to release confiscated emails today

Rupert Murdoch’s News International British websites for the Times and the Sun were taken down last night after hackers targeted the Sun’s web pages and redirected traffic to another page falsely reporting that Rupert Murdoch had been found dead. The LulzSec hacking group hacked the tabloid’s site, and also claimed to be “sitting on their [the Sun’s] emails” and that they would release the emails on Tuesday.

LulzSec never went away

Two weeks ago LulzSec said they were disbanding after one of their number was arrested. But they are back and going after a very large target.

LulzSec put up the fake Sun web page after finding a way into the News International system and changing the code for the breaking news banner on the Sun’s site. The hoax story suggested Murdoch had taken [the rare-earth metal] “palladium” before “stumbling into his famous topiary garden late last night”. The page later redirected to LulzSec’s Twitter account.

Not much fun being hacked is it Mr. Murdoch?

 
This editor loves the irony of the hacker being hacked. LulzSec are back.
