Anti-Government Hackers Hit Jay-Z's Android App

Posted by timothy on from the maybe-they-just-like-jay-z-at-ft.-meade dept.

judgecorp writes "Jay-Z's Android app has been hit by hackers who created a clone of the software. The app was supposed to deliver a copy of the rapper's single and provide footage and other goodies. The rogue app is a ringer for the real one, but has a time-based trigger to deliver anti-Government propaganda on 4 July. The app, and its service name NSAListener, appears to suggest be a protest against U.S. surveillance."

    And how was that different from Bush before him, exactly? There were about as many naysayers, about as many ethical violations.

    The only real difference is that he's black, and when you say "most people who would listen to jay-z are obama voters," what you're trying to say in a thinly veiled fashion is "most black people are obama voters." Thinly veiled racism -- I thought that sort of thing only got moderated up on reddit, but apparently it's made it's sleazy way to Slashdot as well.

    I know being an ignorant cunt is probably very comfortable an easy a lifestyle for you, but I have some bad news...people of all colours are starting to question the current administration. The problem in this country is people like you, probably a homeschooler who was brought up to hate "them niggers and foreigners taking your jobs." That's the sort of person you are, you're just too passive-aggressive to admit it here. The real problem with this country is that it's run by people like you -- imagine that, even a black guy can be an asshole if you give him power. So have many powerful white men before him, you still don't have a point...other than that you're a xenophobe who is being given a startling amount of attention.

    Really, Slashdot? This is "insightful?"
