When zombie-loving hackers gain access to some Texas road signs, hilarity ensues. Either that, or they know something we don't about the impending zombie apocalypse.
Breaking on Fox News' Twitter: Billy O'Riley (sic) is gay. Considering they spelt his name wrong, we suspect this might be the handy work of a hacker. Are celebrity Twitter hackers new in '09?
Tech Buzz Griffith — the subject of a profile in this weekend's NY Times magazine — is the disruptive technologist behind WikiScanner who says that one of his missions in life is “to create minor public-relations disasters for companies and organizations I dislike.” “The hacker high life — girls, notoriety, White Russians — can be hard to resist,” writes Virginia Heffernan. “Girls hang on Virgil Griffith. This is no exaggeration. At parties, they cling to the arms of the 25-year-old hacker whose reason for being, he says, is to 'make the Internet a better and more interesting place.' ” She's witnessed the fandom and unusual drink choice first hand, and describes how at a recent tech conference, “Griffith, enjoying a White Russian that I first mistook for chocolate milk, reveled in the attention of his female fans. He smiled broadly. He seemed like a young Henry Kissinger, but sweet, or Arthur Fonzarelli, but not a dropout.” What do girls like more, his hacking skillz or cutey-pie dimples?
Shortly after screenshots of Sarah Palin’s emails were released online, Obama’s Gmail inbox was leaked by The Onion. The Google Ad from monster.com is a subtle but hilarious touch to this obvious joke.
Politics Buzz Internet hooligans Anonymous somehow hacked Sarah Palin’s personal Yahoo account and posted the user name / password on 4chan (they’re now deleted)! Now, Gawker and Wikileaks have some of the emails archived and posted for all to see.
Music Buzz Soulja Boy’s MySpace and YouTube accounts were hacked! It’s a case of social network kidnapping! The hacker changed log-in info for both of Soulja Boy’s sites, then demanded a ransom of $2500. Dutifully, Soulja Boy released a video more or less explaining what happened to let the world know he’s back.
Tech Buzz Mischievous geeks are manipulating Google Trends to make offensive words appear to be hot search trends. First the number one result was a swastika symbol. Then the words “fuck you google” flipped backwards to get past the spam filters. Some say the 4chan bulletin is causing the problem by picking offensive words and getting the whole community to search for them — thereby creating a self-fulfilling Google trend. Personally we would never do anything like that because we think sʞɔoɹ spuǝɹʇ ǝlƃooƃ.
Tech Buzz A rogue group of hackers claim to have penetrated the Pentagon’s computer networks. Now an international incident is brewing, with the State Department denying it all and the Chinese government bristling at the suggestion they might have had something to do with it all.
