The Sun website hacked by Lulzsec, Rupert Murdoch claimed dead
The website today redirected to an article on a elaborate copy of the official Sun website, that claimed Rupert Murdoch had died, and had been found in his garden.
The Lulzsec official Twitter account claimed they were behind the hack, tweeting; "We have owned Sun/News of the World - that story is simply phase 1 - expect the lulz to flow in coming days." and with a later tweet saying "The Sun's homepage now redirects to the Murdoch death story on the recently-owned New Times website. Can you spell success, gentlemen?"
It appears the hacking group may be out to attack Rupert Murdoch's media empire exclusively, if you right click on the webpage the threat appears; "Murdoch. The end of your global media domination is nigh. Be afraid!" appears.
Update #3: Various hacking groups are now giving out the contact details of staff at the company and asking people to call them.
Update #4: Email address and passwords for "Rebecca Wade" have been leaked. "Wade" is Rebecca Brooks' maiden name. It'll be interesting to see what comes out of the account. In addition to this, passwords for Bill Akass (Managing editor, News of the World), Danny Rogers (Sun online editor) and Lee Wells (Editorial Support Manager) have all been obtained by the group.

They Disbanded which means they are still a hacking group just not a "Group" as such.
