PR/Hoax: MTV hackt sich selbst-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- related 98.6.5/2 PR/Hoax: MTV hackt sich selbst Die Seite schwarz, bestückt mit hilflosen Disclaimern, signiert "JF was here" - alles hat schön gepasst & dennoch war es nichts als 1 Stück schwarzer Propaganda, von MTV/SpinDoctors ausge/heckt. Unter den Hackern brodelt es seit gestern, zumal hier ein angesehener Name missbraucht wurde: JF gehört zur Milw0rm group, die Anfang Juni einen Server von Indiens Atombehörde "ver/öffentlicht" hatte. post/scrypt: Interessant wärs zu wissen, wie sich der technische Direktor der MTV/Website grade fühlt. -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- By Jim Hu, CNET September 9, 1998, 2:15 p.m. PT When Netizens craving music industry skinny visited MTV Online last week, they were not greeted with the standard navigation menu, but instead with a crudely scribbled message: "JF was here." Immediately, many assumed what appeared to be the obvious: MTV Online was hacked. The page, after all, had all the hallmarks of a typical hack--the MTV home page was darkened, the "hacker" message was prominently featured, and a small link to MTV's actual page was included at the bottom. Furthermore, the MTV Online logo on the upper right-hand side of the home page's screen was defaced and an actual MTV disclaimer stated that MTV was "sorry for the inconvenience" and "working on legally clearing this off the site." But despite appearances, there was no hack. MTV itself changed the page as part of an elaborate campaign to promote an online fictional character named "Johnny Fame," who is set to become MTV Online's "roving reporter" during tomorrow night's MTV Music Video Awards. The confusion by Web users was further compounded by the name MTV chose to use for its publicity stunt: While Johnny Fame might sound like a fairly benign name, his initials, which MTV used to "deface" its own page, is also the moniker for a member of an international group of young hackers called Milw0rm. The group gained notoriety last June when members gained access into India's Bhabha Atomic Research Center and downloaded 5 MB of information as a protest against the country's nuclear testing program ... MTV, for its part, said it only wanted to find a creative way of promoting the character that it plans to use for its awards ceremony. ... full story http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,26163,00.html?st.ne.1.head relayed by Phreak Moi aka ¤ P>< ®ê@/< /\/\øï ¤ hackerelite@deathsdoor.com -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- TIP Für tägliche Media/News (Print, TV, Net) mit AT & DE Bezug empfehlen wir, die oejc Liste zu sub/scribieren http://www.oejc.or.at/oejc/mailto/welcome.html -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- --.-q/depesche taeglich ueber--.- internationale hacks--.-zensur im netz crypto--.-IT mergers--.-monopole & die universalitaet digitaler dummheit subscribe http://www.quintessenz.at -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1998-09-10 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
