It appears Lulzsec is back.
The hacker group is claiming responsibility for the redirection of the UKs Sun Newspaper website to a fake news site claiming the death of News Corps mogul Rupert Murdoch.
The Sun is a daily UK tabloid newspaper and owned by, you guessed it, News Corporation.
It currently appears only UK residents are witnessing the redirect, while for US visitors the site loads as normal. Were working on establishing exactly how Lulzsec managed to hack the site but its likely it either modified DNS settings or simply found a way to load a script that redirects the homepage elsewhere.
Update:
TheSun.co.uk now redirects to the Lulzsecs Twitter feed.
Update 2:
Update 3:
Lulzsec is now releasing details of admins usernames and passwords on Twitter, including ex-NotW Editor Rebecca Brooks.
