'Hackers On Steroids' - Fox News vs Anonymous

OK, I'm a month late with this shit but have you seen this Fox News report?

Aside from it being REALLY FUCKING FUNNY in a Brass Eye/the Day Today kinda way, if you look into the backstory it raises some interesting questions, such as how in hell are Fox dumb enough to get hacked by some Ebaums script kiddie and what exactly the fuck is going on in the wider Internet these days? All I know is that it's a hell of a lot funnier than anything pretending to be comedy on my television screen these past few years.

QuoteBelief in Last Thursdayism necessitates the belief that God is a petty sort of prankster who derives pleasure from messing with the heads of his creations, much like a troll. Given the way He is portrayed in the Old Testament, however, this is perhaps not such a stretch of the imagination. When asked why he would do such a thing, God would only reply, "I did it for the lulz".


Shoulders?-Stomach!

That's wonderful stuff.

I think the exploding van's my favourite part...

Is it a spoof (i.e. not Fox News) or have Fox news been tricked into running a spoof/bogus story?
The link to backstory doesn't work, by the way.

i'd guess the link was supposed to be the relevant page of www.encyclopediadramatica.com ?  basically explains all the half-decent jokes and memes from 4chan and all that shit without having to wade through literally thousands of shitposts and animated child porn to get to it

The phone numbers of the entire Phelps family are on Encylopedia Dramatica complete with handy Skype links that call them directly.

Anyone fancy it? Could be recorded for CaB radio...

QuoteLast Thursday, eBaums masquerading as Anonymous discovered that the administrator section of FoxNews.com was left wide open because the retard who worked the site didn't know how to use CHMOD or even .htaccess. The admin directory of FoxNews contained a UNIX script for an FTP account to ZiffDavis.com which was where FOX News downloaded their stories from. Anonymous logged onto the FTP and downloaded 1.5 million people's personal information and left their mark claiming affiliation with EbaumsWorld. This is most likely true because EbaumsWorld is known for causing havoc and chaos for everyone indiscriminately. It took them at least 100 hours to fix the security issue.

On the fateful day of July 26th (which also happens to be ZonDay) the LA Fox News affiliate released perhaps the most lulzy piece of journalism they ever shat out of their assholes. After Fox got raped by Anonymous, they did their usual over-the-top propagandist reports describing Anonymous as domestic terrorist hackers on steroids using UNDERGROUND HACKER SECRET WEBSITES (lol, public).

The news report included unearthing the fact that there were pages of MySpace users dumb enough to get their accounts phished, nigras, some emo kid with a love for gay sex pictures, and their contempt for Habbo Hotel. Fox's old media shill also held up an entire ream of blank paper that a staff intern had recently bought at a local Kinko's, stating that they found "THOUSANDS OF OF STOLEN PASSWORDS" on LOL NO UNDERGROUND HAXX0R TERROR websites. Hacker is to FOX like terrorism is to W.

There were also multiple live "demonstrations" involving dramatic, repeated playback of a yellow van exploding, threats to blow up football stadiums and attempts at spoiling the ending of the latest Harry Potter book. The internets is now (officially) a Die Hard re-enactment. (Is this awesome? y/y) Full News Report is here.

Just moments after this news report aired on Fox, something quite peculiar happened to /b/; users were unable to create new threads, or post images. It's said that FOX called the Feds on /b/ to have them rape 4chan's servers. However, with the ability to post again after a day or so, many lulzy memes sprung forward, including INTERNET HATE MACHINE, Buy A Dog, Exploding Van and 'Lulz is a corruption of LOL'. It was also revealed that the lulz traitor in the video is none other than Reverend Jim Bob, a Bob Dobbs cocklover and Subgenii piece of shit found here http://www.c-h-u-r-c-h-o-f-b-o-b.com/foxnews.html.

More likely for the Fox informant is Alex Wuori

In retaliation to the video, Anon decided to flood MyFoxLA and MyFoxDC's Message Boards, causing their admins to shit a collective amount of bricks. Quickly, the admins on both sites deleted fucking everything, ensuring Anon's victory. It's said that this attack on the forum might provoke a follow-up report on Anon, which will only serve to make Anon's e-peen harder.

At least 100% of fat housewives who watched the report immediately flipped out and canceled their AOL subscriptions. You can smell cooking an heros a mile away.

Anon also, in a thread of epic lulz, pz'OWNED LA Fox News studio by ordering over_9000 Pizza Hut Pizzones via their online website, along with numerous gay exotic dancers, sushi, take out Chinese food, massage therapists, and the like.

Yeah I recognised some of the memes, that's why it seemed like a bogus story to me.  When I searched, the only reference to a hacker group called "Anonymous" was in reference to that video with nothing pre-dating it apart from looking into the history of that one Encyclopedia Dramatica page which is just full of the usual weirdness.  I don't watch Fox News but can anyone who does confirm that the presenter in the clip is a real Fox News presenter.  It all seems fake to me.  If anything, the only hack is getting Fox to believe and run a bogus story.

It's not fake, Fox news truly is that laughably shit.

No one is saying that it was fake, just that maybe certain websites had managed to engineer the story by making lazy Fox 'journalists' think certain things that were fake were actually real.

Yes!  That's exactly what I was trying to suggest.

I seem to recall that this was only a local Fox station it went out on, not the main one.  Still hilarious though. 

However, people who say "lulz" should be immediately whisked away to an electric chair.

Oh, I agree. So much if that "internet meme" shite is such boring drivel.
