LULZ SEC SUN HACK – Fake Murdoch death notice
LONDON (Associated Press) – A group of internet hackers claims to have tampered with the website of Rupert Murdoch’s Sun newspaper.
Visitors to The Sun’s website late Monday were redirected to a page featuring a story saying Murdoch’s dead body had been found in his garden.
Lulz Security took responsibility via Twitter, calling it a successful part of “Murdoch Meltdown Monday.”
Lulz Security has previously claimed hacks on major entertainment companies, FBI partner organizations and the CIA.
============
In the fake death notice, there is a reference to the chemical element Palladium being found in Murdoch’s kitchen. That may be a veiled and ironic reference to the poisonous role of Rebekah Brooks. The name Palladium derived from Pallas Athena. If we see Brooks being the font of stupidity rather than wisdom, the ironic reference fits. Of course, it could be a reference to car exhaust which has quite a bit of Palladium in it. Murdoch media properties produce environmental pollution on a daily basis.
In any case, we have some clever and literate hackers.
Nice work Lulz Security!!!
As far as Mr Murdoch is concerned he is just another media mogul and no different that MSNBC, CBS Or CNN. They all lie and push their chosen agenda’s . Murdoch pick conservatism because he knew it was an open field. And Ms Collins , is a true liberal, you need only look at her appearance. No conservative woman would have a “do” like that. She stepped in it for Murdoch and now he is paying. This is something most , if not all the big media would do, they just got caught because hundreds of media types hate Murdoch as much as they can hate anyone. Murdoch got caught in this and will pay, he should. I’ll bet money if this had been any other media ( known to be liberal ) this wouldn’t even be back page scribble. No one in our big media gives a crap about a little girl or her family’s cell phones. They were completely happy when two supposed innocent by passers hacked Ginrich’s phone a few years ago, illegally . This was a great thing!!! Mr Collins , as usual, you are lopsided, morally corrupt, agendized and deceitful. You never let the facts get in the way.
Doug, you assume that I’m only concerned with Murdoch and Fox. That’s not the case. The other corporate media outlets are clearly unwilling to broadcast anything resembling the accurate account of things for too long. Fox, however, is never willing to report accurately and it serves a screw ball agenda. For example, the nonsense about balancing the budget before raising the debt ceiling is pure nonsense. The budget needs to be balanced but it can’t be before the debt ceiling is raised. By pulling this nonsense, the Fox folks are threatening the US and world economy. A US default would be catastrophic to the federal and state governments but, more importantly, to the citizens. The wave of increase interest rates and economic shocks would spike an already too high unemployment rate and ruin the economy for years.
I suspect that the powers that be are more than happy to take down Murdoch and News Corp because they’re to irresponsible and out of control. But they’re next. Too many lies, too much deception. It’s not a liberal-conservative debate. In fact the clear thinkers on the left and right have some strong bonds including an opposition to: imperialism, crony capitalism, violations of the Constitution, corruption, etc. It’s a start and a working alliance that can make a difference.
