Pretty lazy hacker. He went through all the trouble of creating a new cover and hacking into B&N's system, but still left the "Swift Boat Veterans Speak out against John Kerry" blurb on the cover.

Strange story.

This almost has to be an inside job. If the B+N site had this vulnerability, it would have been exploited many times over by now. The HTML is rendered by a web server. You would have to have access to the file system where this image is stored and replace it with the phoney.

Anyhting is possible. But, as with most crimes, look inside the family first, they alwasy have the best opportunity. I suspect someone will get the opportunity to update their resume' over this.
