In a nanny-nanny-boo-boo response to a recent "news" report by Bill O'Reilly on WikiLeaks (spurred by the Sarah Palin personal email hacking incident), the hackers have broken into O'Reilly's own site and leaked the names of 200 or so users.
From the Bill O'Reilly.Com message board:
The FBI and Secret Service are close to indicting some of the perpetrators and we will keep you posted when the arrests are made. All premium members receive the full backing of our legal team and if anyone is hassled in the least, please inform us immediately. In the latest case, no proprietary information was obtained by hackers and we have safeguards in place to protect everyone who does business with us.
Rest assured that we are on this. Our defense of Sarah Palin has led some criminals to attempt to disrupt our enterprise. At this moment federal authorites and our attorneys are compling information against these people. Again, if any person is bothered in any way – please let us know. We stand behind our products but, most importantly, we stand behind you. We’ll get the bad guys. Count on it.
