LulzSec defaces The Sun

Posted on by

LulzSec declared retirement last month, but it appears they’re back. Their latest mission was the defacement of The Sun, a paper owned by Rupert Murdoch.

The Sun hacked - Rupert Murdoch -paper

The web hack took the shape of a mock article from Murdock’s The Sun, with the headline “Media moguls body discoverd”  [sic].

The group boasted on their Twitter feed: “We have owned Sun/News of the World – that story is simply phase 1 – expect the lulz to flow in coming days.”

The story was blocked within the hour. This attack seems to have corresponded with the UK investigation into the massive voice-mail hacking scandal and Murdock’s testimony.
