Bill O'Reilly Website Hacked


From: "Paul Ferguson" <fergdawg () netzero net>
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:11:05 GMT

-----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.
