See you tomorrow, apparently, giant trove of News Corp emails (or at least emails from their newspaper publishing division, News International) obtained by LulzSec by means not dissimilar to how News of the World (and others?) obtained information for their reporting. Maybe we will get a nice view of just how frequently (legal disclaimer: IF AT ALL) James Murdoch lied before Parliament today?
OK FOR THE LAST TIME: NOTW/News Corp "hacked" into people's voice mails for the most part by just calling their victims at odd hours (when the calls were likely to go straight to voice mail) and then just guessing the PIN, which was often successful because the victims never changed their PINs from the default set by their phone company, or set them to something dumb like 1234. Calling this "hacking" is quite frankly an insult to hackers like LulzSec, who presumably had to do quite a bit more technical legwork.
One the rumors about why Rupert is so devoted to Rebekah Brooks (beyond some weird "daughter I never had" thing) is that she has the scandalous goods on Murdoch the younger.
So now I find myself torn between morally condemning the whole phone hacking scandal and totally wanting someone to steal that info from Ms. Brooks.
