Forwarded from: Ed the Sock <mail () edthesock com> Hey-- I appreciate your support, but it wasn't Toronto that decided to do the MuchUSA thing. It was MuchUSA, a separate company. Believe me, Toronto was not/is not happy about it. MuchUSA relented and agreed to carry my show, then backed away again after the e-mails stopped coming. They stopped coming because MUSA said they'd carry the show. Catch-22. -Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: "InfoSec News" <isn () c4i org> To: <isn () attrition org> Cc: <mmcomments () rainbow-media com>; <edusa () edthesock com>; <isn () c4i org> Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 5:52 AM Subject: Hacker invades MuchMusic's Web site, lifts entrants' telephone numbers, ages
[While its rare for me to post news about website defacements, unless its a high profile site, like ACM, NASDAQ, or Attrition. :) I feel a need to post news about this defacement only because I *USED* to watch a great deal of MuchMusic's late-night programming in the USA. That is until the powers that be in Toronto decided they should drop a huge chunk of their Canadian programing and start a channel like MTV, (a network still confused on what the M in MTV stands for), and start a whole new channel in the USA called MuchMusic.tv. Now not to sound like this is a rant. :) but one of the highlights of watching MuchMusic in the USA, was Ed the Sock, http://www.edthesock.com/ & with the new American programing, one of the Canadian programs to get nixed was Ed's show. While this is a show of a sockpuppet, Ed has some really fresh & bright viewpoints on pretty much everything, and its actually worth watching in a world of 500+ channels. - WK] http://www.canoe.ca/NationalTicker/CANOE-wire.MuchMusic-Hacked.html TORONTO (CP) [Aug. 24, 2001] - MuchMusic warned Thursday that some people who entered a contest on its Web site may have had their private information seized by a computer hacker.
