-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Via Wikileaks.org. [snip] Wikileaks has been informed the hack was a response to the pundit's recent scurrilous attacks over the Sarah Palin's email story--including on Wikileaks and other members of the press. Hacktivists, thumbing their noses at the pundit, took control of O'Reilly's main site, BillOReilly.com. According to our source, the security protecting O'Reilly's site and subscribers was "non-existent". [...] image[s], submitted to Wikileaks and confirmed by Wikileaks staff, offers proof of the hack. The image, clearly obtained from BillOreilly.com's administrative interface, shows a detailled list -- including passwords -- of BillOreilly.com subscribers. Although Wikileaks has only released one page, it must be assumed that Bill O'Reilly's entire subscriber list is, as of now, in the public domain.
