The world's largest public broadcasting network, PBS, is under a cyber attack by supporters of WikiLeaks after PBS aired a "smear" documentary on the WikiLeaks foundation.
As part of this hacking, a news story was posted on a "CNN" website saying that deceased rapper Tupac Shakur was found alive in New Zealand. Also, it claimed, Biggie Smalls, another deceased rapper, was also there as well. Apparently, a person who lived on this remote island recently died and left behind a diary showcasing the two rappers.
This, of course, brought attention to PBS, as the hackers try to discredit the public broadcasting networks news stories and documentaries. People started to realize this was part of a hacking attempt and the story has since been pulled.
The Lulz Boat also created a page -- within the pbs.org address -- that says "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO LULZSEC." The title of the page is "FREE BRADLEY MANNING. (expletive) FRONTLINE!"
The group's bio states, "We are LulzSec, a small team of 80-year-old men and people who smoke on webcam. Right?"
The Lulz Boat also claimed it was not Anonymous, a hacker collective globally infamous for disrupting the websites of MasterCard, Visa and PayPal in December after the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on unrelated sexual assault charges.
A slogan under a "LulzSec" banner online reads, "Laughing at your security since 2011!"
