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."

    No, you choose to use Apple so that you can post "And this is why I choose to use Apple" all around the interwebs.

    To the tune of "The ABC Song" (R)(TM)

    ABCD-EBT, Jay-Z knows what's best for me.
    So I will buy his new CD,
    And listen to it so I can be a re-re,
    I'll be living at ma-mama-how 'til I am 30
    ABCD-EBT, Jay-Z knows what's best for me.
    And since there once was slavery,
    I can blame it all on ol' whitey,
    And all the other re-re will nod and agree.
    ABCD-EBT, Jay-Z knows what's best for me.
    My son is on drugs and my dotta is a ho
    'Cause they grew up watching Maury
    And the Jerry Springer show.
    But since I am too stupid to admit what is wrong,
    I'll just whine like a little bitch,
    About this frighteningly racist song.
    ABCD-EBT, Jay-Z knows what's best for me.
