Rupert Murdoch Dd

The digital vigilante groups Anonymous and LulzSec, it seems, plan to tch News Corp. a thing or two about .
Just a day after the arrest of Rebekah Brooks, the chief executive of New Corp.’s British subsidiary and editor of its The Sun newspaper for phone charges, the groups took credit Monday for defacing the paper’s website to redirect to a fake homepage (archived here) that claimed its owner, News Corp. chief executive Rupert Murdoch, had died of a drug overdose.
Worse may be ahd for the The Sun than mere graffiti: A who goes by the handle Sabu claims that the groups had also accessed The Sun‘s and defunct sister paper News Of The World’s emails, and may relse them in coming days. “Sun/News of the world OWNED,” he writes. “We’re sitting on their emails. Press relse tomorrow.”
Sabu and other Anonymous-related twitter feeds followed by twittering email addresses and s for Rebekah Brooks and Bill Akass, an editor who has held positions at The Sun and News of the World, and Danny Rogers, currently online editor at The Sun.
“We have owned Sun/News of the World,” added a tweet from LulzSec, the group that went on a spree targeting the CIA, and PBS rlier this yr only to supposedly disband last month. “That story is simply phase 1 – expect the lulz to flow in coming days.”
