  • PBS: Tupac Alive in New Zealand

    Drake, you might need to change your location to New Zealand.



    Of course, it was hackers.

    A hacker group angry at a PBS documentary about WikiLeaks hit back at the broadcaster by posting a fake story on its website claiming rapper Tupac Shakur was "alive and well" in New Zealand.
    The story on PBS' NewsHour site said that the famous rapper, who was shot and killed in Las Vegas in 1996, had actually been found living in a small New Zealand town, along with fellow murdered rapper Biggie Smalls, Forbes reported Monday.
    PBS pulled down the story but it was archived by Google News and spread quickly through Facebook and Twitter.
    "Again, our site has been hacked -- please stay with us as we work on it," read one of the NewsHour's several tweets responding to the incident.
    Hacking group LulzSec claimed responsibility for the cheeky sting in retaliation for a PBS report critical of WikiLeaks and suspected leaker Bradley Manning aired May 24.
    The hackers also posted a list of user names and passwords for PBS staff.
    "We just finished watching WikiSecrets and were less than impressed. We decided to sail our Lulz Boat over to the PBS servers for further... perusing. Anyway, say hello to the insides of the PBS servers, folks," an internet post from LulzSec said.

      I was down in NZ recently to lay down some tracks with Katchafire, but I could never live there. Beautiful country, but far too provincial.
