Bill O’Reilly’s web site hacked users' info released

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Mon Sep 29, 2008 2:26 pm

In what is slowly turning into a endless loop of hacktivism activities, Bill O’Reilly’s BillOreilly.com has been compromised during the weekend, with personal details including passwords in plain text for 205 of the site’s members already leaking across Internet forums, as a response to his remarks regarding Wikileaks as a “one of those despicable, slimy, scummy websites” which recently published private information of Sarah Palin’s private email.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.

It's a weird day when I agree with Bill O'Reilly. That's a lesson for all of us that we should make sure we don't use the same damn password for everything.
