BuzzFlash Was Hacked This Morning By Those Who Can't Stand the Truth

We removed the locked "survey screen" that was maliciously inserted by an outside party that obviously wishes to drive readership away from the site. BuzzFlash at Truthout has been a vigilant, irreverent watchdog for more than 11 years. The truth will not be stopped.

These type of attacks -- although varying in form -- have also been launched on Truthout, our parent site, in the past year. It is clear that there are Americans and agendas simply too threatened by fearless sites and bold reporting and commentary.

BuzzFlash and Truthout do not accept any corporate advertising -- in fact, any advertising -- and that is a threat to many, because we can't be bought.

1. Yeah, it's not like it could have been script kiddies

And have nothing to do with the content of the site.

And they use it for an excuse to raise money. How tacky.

2. Buzzflash is not 'tacky' - never has been, never will be

get a grip

5. Strawman

I never claimed Buzzflash was tacky.

Raising money based upon their interpretation of the hacking without evidence is.

3. I think it has nothing to do with the content of their site or "bold reporting"

and more to do with spammers who hack thousands of sites all the time with this crap.

4. Both sites should be considered mandatory reading for their original content and news aggregating.

Thanks for posting.
