FoxNews commentator Bill O'Reilly's website hacked
The A Register ^ | September 21, 2008 | Dan Goodin

Two days after someone broke into the email account of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, unknown intruders have hacked the website of conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly and posted personal details of more than 200 of its subscribers.

The breach into BillOreilly.com came as retaliation for remarks O'Reilly made on FoxNews condemning the attack on Palin's Yahoo email account, according to Wikileaks, a site that makes it easy for whistleblowers, hackers and anyone else to leak documents.

As proof, Wikileaks posted a screenshot of the BillOreilly.com administrative interface that showed the names, email addresses, passwords, and home town of 20 subscribers of the website. In all, information belonging to 205 subscribers was intercepted, according to Eric Marston, CTO of Nox Solutions, the company that maintained the O'Reilly website.

This is now a really serious crime with massive free speech implications, requiring a TOTAL FBI response.

The FBI needs to smack down these people. It is not badge or an honor to engage in such irresponsible behavior with acquired knowledge.

You notice liberals always seem to have plenty of time on their hands for this stuff? Hacking would be time consuming I assume....hmmmmm, no jobs?

Everyone whose names were released should be able to sue the perps and any organization that protects them.

Let’s see how O’Reilly un-spins this.

The MSM will be disappointed that BOR’s personal e-mail account was not hacked.

I heard O’Reilly say that there is nothing that the government can do to punish the web site that posts the information. It must have been the day that this happened. I guess he doesn’t care that much about the personal information of his subscribers.

Remember when Falafel Bill did that against FR?

I’m right there with you. I consider them my sworn enemy; an attitude that I didn’t have before this campaign season.

Whatever else happens, Monday's Bill O'Reilly show should be a classic!

Certainly not boring...
