Family First in hacker attack

Well, if by "hacker attack", you mean "they had an open form that encouraged you to post blog entries", then, sure.

The journalist in question (Jane Holroyd) got spun, plain and simple. Poor work on her part.


"It is day one of an election campaign and it is interesting that you found out before Family First found out," [party spokeswoman Felicity Dargan] told Theage.com.au.
"It shouldn't happen in politics. It's just not necessary."


Then don't create a webpage that allows anyone to post entries, you fools.

Perhaps the reason the age found out before you is because you're idiots? Just a thought.

Kyle and Damien have more.

(A pity - I was going to post something from "Jamie Packer" thanking Senator Fielding for the several billion dollars I now have to spend on increasing my gambling empire, but it got yanked first)

When they say "blogs" do they actually mean "forum comments"? I'm baffled.

From the press and the email I exchanged with FF yesterday, I can't tell whether they're ignorant of terminology and technology, or are deliberately trying to cloud the issue to allow them to split hairs.
eg: I've been told "No blogs were deleted," which is true in a sense...yet contradicts what The Age was spun.
This morning, their tactic seems to have switched to: "If we play dumb, maybe it'll all blow-over."

Anyway, blogging should be banned -- just look at that flagrant left-wing bias!

Nah, they had a simple bit of "blog" software there that allowed anyone to create new entries, no login or access control of any form.
