Social Engineering + sloppy reporting = Owned!!

Either this attack did not take place at all or it's FUD reporting.

Gwerdna is Andrew G in reverse.

This is the 'source' of most the information given to the author of the article.

The author is writing for ZDNet.com.au an Australian website.

"Andy G" as he is called, is the host of Australian Idol.

I think 2 years ago "Andy G", a tall man with long blond hair who dresses effeminately was voted Australian Bachelor of the year by Cleo magazine Australia. Why would a 'hacker' want to be associated with him?

This 'hack' either did not exist, or was so trivial it really can't be classed as hacking. "Unknown exploit" is highly unlikely.

(credit where credit is due - andrewg in reverse was found by someone else in discussion part of zdnet)

I'm just wondering where the 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll fits in on this one.
