Saddam's Inbox Hacked

MotorMachineMercenar writes "Wired News is reporting that Saddam Hussein's email account (press@uruklink.net) has been hacked into. The account had a five-letter login with the same password. Messages in his inbox sent from all over the world included everything from death threats to business propositions to offers to sell him WMDs. A choice quote from the article: 'One AOL user sent Saddam a one-word message: 'Imminent.' Attached to the Aug. 6 e-mail was a photograph of an atomic mushroom cloud.' I wonder what the login was." You'd think it was "press," password "press," but if it were that obvious I think someone would have said so.

    It is an excellent example of two things:

    One - Corporate bastards would drain the blood from their mother, if it meant they got a stock option, or key to the executive washroom.

    Two - Corporate bastards obviously have no fscking clue about what goes on or what is even made at their own companies, and will promise anything to make a sale (see #1).

    "4G Wireless Technology? Yes, that could ignite the atmospere. Oh, you need controllable ignition? Yes! We are pioneers in that technology!"

    I'd love to know the name of that company, so I could ensure that I never do business with them.

    What's the problem? 102 A.D. is the year that Saddam Hussein and his republic lives in.
