Fail O' Reilly!

Awwww.....look at this.

A hacker claims to have cracked the web site of Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly and purloined a list of subscribers to the site, which includes their names, e-mail addresses, city and state, and the password they use for their registration to the site.

The attack was retaliation for comments that O'Reilly made on the air this week about web sites that published e-mails obtained from the Yahoo account of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, according to a press release distributed by WikiLeaks late Friday.

The hacker sent WikiLeaks a screenshot of O'Reilly's subscriber list as proof of the deed, which WikiLeaks has posted online.

This week on his Fox show, O'Reilly slammed web sites, such as WikiLeaks and Gawker, for posting screenshots of e-mails, family photos and a list of contacts taken from Palin's private e-mail account.

"They're trafficking in stolen merchandise," O'Reilly said during one of his shows, calling for their prosecution. He also referred to a site that published the screenshots as "despicable, slimy, scummy."

From Wikileaks:

The message to O' Failley:



Also, more delicious dox.

What apparently happened was that some people from a slimy, scummy, and despicable website attempted to make him the next Hal Turner by nicely raiding his radio show call-in program. However, O' Failley heard of the raid, BAWWWWed, and limited the number of callers allowed on air, while BAWWWWing again about "staying away from the internet."

While all this BAWWWWing was taking place, awesome BAD hackers on steroids (from ebaumsworld.com, of course) found the admin page for one of O'Failley's webpages, which (in an act of complete and utter FAILure) required no password. The list of some of the subscribers was ultimately posted to Wikileaks, and as they say, the rest is history.

As much as I hate to say it, this is probably what O'Failley deserves for being an ignorant, hateful, bumbling dumbass over the whole Palin 'hack' (not a hack, lol) and thinking that the partyvan is his personal army. He basically was asking for it for failing at the internet that badly.

At this point, the only thing that could make this saga more lulzy is if O' Failley suffers a heart attack while on air ranting and raving about 'evil hackers'.

Remember, the internet is serious business.
