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."

      Yeah, those obamo voters are fanatics! Almost as unlikely to be swayed by logic as those anti-obama people!

      Way to change the subject obama fan. Are you trying to tell us that you like having your rights and freedoms stripped from you? Are you a supporter of the policies?

      Listen, if you could never bring yourself to vote for any other party than Democrat, do yourself and your country a favor and at least spoil your ballot or abstain from voting. If you vote democrat in the next election then you are giving tacit approval of those policies implemented by Obama.

      Either find a third party to vote for or don't vote because otherwise you are voting in favor of destroying your rights and freedoms.

      It's extremely funny that you would think that empty-suit Romney would be ANY different in this matter. There is no party differences on this one.

      So because you believe that you are going to be a good little partisan and continue to vote democrat?

      actually yes. look at how many people voted for obama a second time, after the disasterous first term. And Its not about race its about party. Look at MSNBC , chris matthews still has a boner for obama as does maddow and the rest (all white, some gay and some female). I stand by my statement. IT was a knock at crappy music (jay z) and the people who tend to listen to crappy music tend to vote for crappy people.

      Careful your prejudice is showing!!

      Good thing you stand by your statement. Otherwise it might get lonely since nobody else would want to associate with anything so idiotic!

    I'm amused at the anti-Obama hate by the usual suspects here. This puerile, frankly stupid stunt is an extension of Obama Derangement Syndrome we see in the less-intelligent on the Left, the Right and from the looney-tarian lunar fringe.

    I'm no leftie, nor a John Bircher, nor a libertarian. Which is probably why I have a lot of respect for the man.

    You rarely get people who can show that sort of nous, effectiveness, ruthlessness and pragmatism in one individual, and I bet very few people would survive, let alone thrive with the sort of irrational, hateful opposition that man sees. Remember, we're in the midst of a once-in-a-century global economic crisis, and the West is fighting wars on two separate fronts, and Cold Wars on others.

    We're not getting "HOPE", as it were. What the West is getting, is the tough, pragmatic leader it needs.

    I'd wager that if he wasn't mixed-race or a Democrat, we'd be reading stories on CNN about how Obama would be considered of the greatest presidents ever.
