PBS Web Sites and Databases Hacked

wiredmikey writes "Late Sunday night, hackers gained access to several areas of PBS Web servers and were able publish a fake news story on a PBS news blog. The group also published PBS internal user login information that they were able to siphon out of PBS databases. The fake story was about rapper Tupac Shakur, who died in 1996 after being shot in Las Vegas, being been found alive and well in a small resort in New Zealand. A group going by the name of 'LulzSec' claimed responsibility for the hack, saying the attack was a protest against a PBS Frontline broadcast last week about WikiLeaks."

This isn't akin to any serious crime. This is about as dangerous as someone writing a funny phrase on a wall with a marker (and takes just about as much effort to clean up after), and people should treat it as such.

Sorry, I'm not one of you "fags". I could come up with a lot better targets than Fox, but I could also come up with a hell of a lot better things to do.
