Lulz? The ‘Murdoch s Project’ Gets A Landing Page



Over the last week, there’s been quite a bit of news swirling around Rupert Murdoch’s empire, including, most recently, the now infamous LulzSec’spwnage of The Sun, News Corp’s daily tabloid newspaper.On Monday, the network of merry tivists into The Sun, pinned a fake news story about Murdoch’s supposed dth on the homepage, redirected the site to its Twitter page, and brought down a of other News Corp and News International websites — all in one fell swoop.If that weren’t enough, on Thursday, the known as “Sabu” (who isreportedly affiliated with LulzSec and Anonymous) claimed to have4GB worth of emails, or “sun mails” that might “explode this entire case” that were lifted during the . Sabu was, of course, referring to the ongoing News Corp/News Of The World scandal, in which top executives have been accused, some arrested (and on trial) for illegal phone tapping of everyone from celebrities to murder victims.It has since been unclr whether or not LulzSec would be relsing some or any of those emails to the public, though AnonymousIRC, for one,indied via Twitterthey may not. While that assertion remains intact, we’ve just discovered this site: “Murdochs.org“, which apprs to be the landing page where Lulzsec and/or Anonymous may dump none, some — or all — of its News International email loot.As of right now, the site is blank, with only a “Murdoch s” hding, accompanied by the following text:“Coming soon … To volunteer with the Project contact us at 18009275@hush.com”. And, of course, a link to aTwitter account, inscribed with:“Launching soon… Making Rupert Murdoch, News Corp and News International accountable.”These s sure love Twitter.Again, to be clr, at this point it’s not evident who owns the site, but we’re looking into it. (Probably Louise Boat.) And, with “s” in the hdline, all signs point toward this being a Lulzsec/Anon. production.Shouldthe sitego live, we will of course update with more.Source: TechCrunch
