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.

Leprechaun Bill’O is a two-faced toad. I thought that before he called FR a “hate site” and even before his loofa-laden sexual harassments were known.

The hackers probably thought there was a pr0n section in the private portions of “Loofah” BillO’s website.
Something tells me that these guys have proxied up and either phished or backdoored their way in. I am pretty sure the FBI is going to find a bunch of proxy ISPs from Lithuania and just shrg their shoulders and walk away. The kid who did Palin’s email, didn’t hack, he committed fraud. These kids are a bit different breed.
