O'Reilly Hacked for Comments about Palin Hack

[ruggerson]

A hacker claims to have cracked the web site of Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly and purloined a list of subscribers to the site, which includes their names, e-mail addresses, city and state, and the password they use for their registration to the site.

The attack was retaliation for comments that O'Reilly made on the air this week about web sites that published e-mails obtained from the Yahoo account of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, according to a press release distributed by WikiLeaks late Friday.

The hacker sent WikiLeaks a screenshot of O'Reilly's subscriber list as proof of the deed, which WikiLeaks has posted online.

This week on his Fox show, O'Reilly slammed web sites, such as WikiLeaks and Gawker, for posting screenshots of e-mails, family photos and a list of contacts taken from Palin's private e-mail account.

is doing with the Palin hack.

[TaffyMoon]

10. Rushbit called them Obama thugs!

[Ian David]

15. To be fair, Drug-addicted pedophile Rush Limbaugh said they were PROBABLY Obama thugs. n/t

7. I might have to do something really painful

I might have to actually watch The O'Lielly Factor tomorrow just to see the look on his face.

:rofl:

[tblue]

8. But it's okay for the gov't to read our emails and tap our phones?

[magellan]

9. Geez, the passwords people use

My dog could crack most of them.

I'll bet O'Lielly's was 'falafel'.

[TaffyMoon]

[HopeHoops]

I wonder if there will be more spew on this from O'Reilly. Somehow I doubt it.

[sudopod]

13. lol

What kind of dumbass goes out and antagonizes Anonymous?

[Jamastiene]

17. O'Lielly is a fuckhead.

I kind of want to :popcorn: all the way through this one. Usually, I might say, "Tsk tsk." This time, I'll say, "It couldn't have happened to anyone better, except Cheney or Bush."

Would we call this one, "SpyWars?" Our government spies on us, so now the hackers spy back?

[LiberalHeart]

19. I don't understand why anyone would want to do this or how it's retaliation.

What score is settled? It's just some jerk doing something because s/he can.

21. oreilly continually hurts others with his outrage - and this person

is exposing others like oreilly does only they are exposing these rw hacks and goons

[LiberalHeart]

22. Exposing him to what? Nothing. It's the subscribers who are hurt.

[2Design]

20. funny how he says about phone numbers and yet he and his goons

have put phone numbers and names of people out there and harmed people or as in Nancy grace push a unbalanced person into suicide - his outrage is out of line - he needs to look in a mirror
