A PBS NewsHour blog late Sunday proclaimed that murdered rappers Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls were still alive and living in New Zealand. No, NewsHour did not have an exclusive, but were the targets of malicious hackers who broke into the PBS servers and defaced the site. The group responsible, called Lulz Sec, also posted online what appeared to be more than two thousand PBS passwords and login IDs. PBS was working to regain control of its site about 7 hours after notifying users on Twitter and Facebook it had been hacked. At the time of this writing, however, Lulz Sec was still actively posting items on blogs.pbs.org. The group also claimed on Twitter that PBS couldn't do much to shut them out. Lulz Sec said it broke into PBS.org in response to the way a recent Frontline episode entitled Wikisecrets portrayed the whistle-blowing site, Wikileaks. Lulz Sec says it is not affiliated with the hacker group Anonymous, despite both groups' respect for Wikileaks. …mehr

Of all the PC software that people use, none is so entrenched on desktops as the office suite.
