Going After BP
BP continues to be the subject of criticism following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the hacking community appears to be taking exception to some of BP’s recent public relations activities in the online arena.
Not the Haus of Gaga too
Around 9pm EST on Monday the Twitter account of pop singer Lady Gaga, @ladygaga was cracked in to and a series of messages added to her tweet stream. This is the second high profile Twitter account to be cracked in the last few days, on Friday the account of pop singer Britney Spears, @BritneySpears, started professing sympathy for the devil. The Lady Gaga one is interesting though, because like an homage to old school cracks of the past, the attackers appear to have left their name. Further these are two high profile accounts broken into after Twitter has implemented at least three major changes to their web site’s authentication process.
