The PBS.org website, and data associated with the PBS television network, its programs, and its affiliate stations, appear to have just been hacked by an entity calling itself LulzSec (or "The Lulz Boat"). The hack was made public around 1130pm ET, Sunday, May 29, and included cracking the PBS server, posting a bogus news story and some defacements, and publishing what appear to be thousands of passwords.
The group that carried out the hack claims they are not affiliated with "Anonymous" (PS3 network hackers), and that the action is retribution for the recent "Wikisecrets" episode on Wikileaks, which was perceived by Wikileaks and its supporters to be unfair to Wikileaks. They are not in it for the money, just the "lulz".
And no, sadly Tupac is not still alive in New Zealand, this was just another one of the many intrusions "LulzSec" have made. Here is the latest defacement of the site, quite a funny one I might add.
nice blog
