‘Murdoch death’ hackers target Sun

COMPUTER hackers targeted The Sun website last night, with visitors being redirected to a hoax story about Rupert Murdoch’s suicide.

The group LulzSec, which has previously targeted companies including Sony, claimed it carried out the hijack, via messages on Twitter.

Internet users trying to access thesun.co.uk were redirected to new-times.co.uk and a story entitled “Media mogul’s body discovered”.
