MacRumors Live Coverage gets Pwned

Macrumors live

Looks like the trolls at 4Chan have gotten their sticky, unwashed mitts into MacRumors Live coverage of the MacWorld Expo 2009 event today. Twitteriffic!

The above is a screenshot of the live “coverage” as it was just getting hacked (click for a larger, full-window view). Shortly afterwards, the site went blank, followed by periods where it came back with the typical chaotic LOLspeak prevalent among the lulz crowd. The culmination was the posting of a nice, ugly goatse-style image, making the final results un-postable here (simply because I try to keep things at least marginally SFW).

It was hilarious at the start. Then once every tired meme was spilled out on the scrolling twitter feed, it kinda got old.

/b/tards suck. MacRumors, however, sucks harder for having such lax security and allowing access to their feed to get leaked out like this.
