Macrumors Keynote feed hacked

Macrumors hacked

While Phil Schiller was rockin’ the mic and waxing rhapsodic about the wonders of iLife ‘09, there was a bit of drama on the Mac web: the live coverage of the Keynote being provided by MacRumors was hacked by people claiming to be from 4chan imageboard. The person or group began posting their own irreverent version of what was happening on stage—how everyone else missed the orgy, I’m not sure—as well as making repeated announcements of Steve Jobs’ demise, the laxness of Mac security, and so on.

The posting went on for quite a few minutes before the feed, and eventually the Macrumors site itself, went offline.
