FOX News Twitter Hacked – Announces Death of President Obama - Photo

Boy, when people say FOX News has made enemies they’re not kidding.

In what seems to be a pretty serious hack Monday morning of the news organizations twitter account @foxnewspolitics, hackers tweeted that President Barack Obama had been shot twice and killed.

The original FOX logo was altered and the text "H4CK3D BY TH3 5CR1PT K1DD3S" added.

The photo below shows the progression of the hoax, first saying the President had been assassinated by two gunshot wounds to the pelvic and neck area and bled out, and later congratulating Vice President Joe Biden in his new role as Commander in Chief.

The hackers said that Obama had been shot at Ross Restaurant in Iowa while on a campaign function, and later tweeted condolences to the country for the assassination that occurred on the fourth of July Holiday.



FOX later responded with a news release indicating they were aware of the problem saying,

“Fox News Twitter feed for political news was hacked early Monday morning.

Hackers sent out several malicious and false tweets claiming that President Obama had been assassinated. Those reports are incorrect, of course, and the president is spending the July 4 holiday with his family.

The hacking is being investigated, and FoxNews.com regrets any distress the false tweets may have created.”

We can only imagine the initial panic people felt after seeing the original comments and there was, indeed, quite a stir when this news broke.

Note to hackers:

Next time, please try to hack into Sarah Palins account – she needs to be knocked down a couple pegs.

Amy Winehouse's Website Gets Hacked...Big Time

Earlier today, Amy Winehouse's website was hacked by what is, quite possibly, the most hilarious team of hackers ever. (It's not like I know a ton of hacker teams though, so I could be wrong.)

The best part is: her website is still under the hackers' control (as of publish time). Check it out for yourself: www.AmyWinehouse.com
(UPDATE: The hackers must've really done a number on Amy's site, because the URL now redirects to Amy Winehouse's Facebook page)

In case you missed it, here's a screen shot of the hilarious shenanigans:
(Warning for any sensitive souls: I am much too lazy to censor this, there are just WAY too many words that would need to be blurred out. Plus, it's just funnier this way.)

Amy Winehouse website hacked
Click on the image, so you can see it full size. Reading is fun!

In their crazy, hard-to-read, mess of text, the hackers write:
"THE GOALS OF SWAGSEC ARE 2 TAKE BACK THE INTERNET FROM THE WHITE DEVIL.DEATH 2 THE WHITE DEVIL."
I would rip on the text's lack of readability...but I guess that's why these guys went into hacking, and not web design.

BUT WAIT! The fun doesn't stop there: Amy Winehouse's hacker is on Twitter! Username: @SwagSec (I know you wanna follow!)

Let's get to know @SwagSec, shall we? According to their Twitter Profile:  
"WE ARE HERE TO TAKE BACK THE INTERNET .--.wHoOp.--. FROM THE WHITE DEVIL. WE ARE A TEAM OF HOMOSEXUAL NEGROS AND WE ARE PROUD OF IT. SWAGGGG"
And, because I love screen shots:


Please notice that @SwagSec is following 12 people, two-thirds of which, are accounts associated with KFC. Nice.

UPDATE: 
KFC has blocked @SwagSec on Twitter. What idiots. They're really missing out on a great opportunity for publicity. SMH. SMFH.

Here's what @SwagSec has to say about it:

Yeah, I censored. And yeah, I retweeted.
Colonel Sanders obviously just made @SwagSec's s#!t list. Stay tuned for: "KFC's Website Gets Hacked...Big Time"

Photo - Rep. Weiner Busted – New Photos Shoot Holes in His “Hacked” Twitter Theory

Update 2: More semi-nude photos of Weiner appear in the Congressional gym and locker room. 

Update: Watch Weiner's Washington DC Press Conference video

Poor Representative Anthony Weiner.

We really wanted to believe him.

After last week’s scandal involving a male crotch photo said to be sent from Representative Anthony Weiner’s twitter account to a young female, new photos and additional information has emerged that may shoot holes in his “hacked twitter account” theory.

The website BigGovernment broke the original story, and now it appears that the alleged crotch photo was sent using TweetDeck – the same utility that Weiner routinely used for his own use.

But today, several new photos appeared that put’s Weiner’s statement “I cannot say with certitude that’s not me in the photo…” into question.

New Photo Of Anthony Weiner Emerges

He can’t say the original crotch photo was not him because it appears there may be other pictures floating around.

In addition to the above photo, another photo showing Weiner sitting on his couch with his two cats had the caption ““Me and the pussys”.

Me and the pussys - note cats in background

Now we may now why he was not able to deny “with certitude” that the first photo was not him.Looks like Weinergate will not be going away anytime soon.

When are these politicians going to learn not to take pictures of their dick?

When will they learn to not record inappropriate phone conversations?

When will they learn not to lie?

I know we can never have a Government with total angels on staff, but why must they always fall prey to their own pride, ego, money and power?

Not to mention the time, money, and effort spent in the resulting cover ups.

It must be something in their DNA.
