Britney Spears wasn’t safe. Neither were Barack Obama and Bill O’Reilly. The latest to be hacked is popular Apple news blog MacRumorsLive.com, on the day of Macworld Expo, no less. At around 9:30 this morning, pranksters hacked into the live updates, saying “Steve Jobs just died,” among other obscenities. The site is currently down though not sure if the hackers were directly responsible for this or MacRumors decided to take it down until the snafu is sorted out. CNET has named 4Chan, a user-gen bulletin board, as the most likely culprit. The most recent mischief from 4Chan came in September 2008, when a user hacked into vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s personal Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) Mail account and posted her password, along with screenshots within the account, to Wikileaks.

These are reported news events.

ubercam writes "A Canadian business man is on the hook for a $52,000 phone bill after someone hacked into his voice mail system and found a way to dial out. The hacker racked up the charges with calls to Bulgaria. The business owner noticed an odd message coming up on his call display (Feature 36), and alerted his provider, Manitoba Telecom Services. They referred him to their fraud department, who discovered the breach. MTS said that they would reverse the charges if the hacked equipment was theirs, but in this case it was customer owned. The ironic part is that the victim's company, HUB Computer Solutions is in the business of computer and network security. They even offer to sell, configure and secure Cisco VoIP systems. Looks as though they even couldn't manage to secure their own system, which doesn't bode well for their customers.
