RIAA News Release Pages Hacked

Guardian UK reported that the news ticker for http://www.riaa.com and http://www.riaa.org got hacked yesterday and original content poured in from all over the world for a few hours.

According to an official statement issued by the Recording Industry Association of America today, "I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner â?¦ do you eat cheese?"

Which is pretty bizarre even by the standards set by the RIAA's recent communications.

Of course, this hasn't been issued by the RIAA at all. It's a defacement, only a slightly more creative one than usual. In a novel twist the hackers created a form allowing submissions to feed directly into the RIAA's own press release page.
