Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks is getting grilled today as part of an inquiry conducted by the British Parliament over last year’s hacking scandal. For the most part, it’s a bit dull, but there was one amazing tidbit that surfaced. British Prime Minister didn’t know what LOL really meant until a couple of years ago.
The News of the World phone-hacking; the Citibank hacking; the hacking cough of cold and flu season fast approaching… oh yes, Colbert is worried about them all.
The fruits of today’s The Sun hack are starting to dangle down: LulzSec (out of retirement?) and Anon are tweeting logins of some serious British media brass. Foremost? Rebekah Brooks, the epicentre of England’s voicemail hacking scandal. Update: phone numbers!
The phone-hacking scandal that saw Rupert Murdoch close the UK’s News of the World newspaper and several high-profile resignations has reached a crescendo. Thankfully there’s a faux movie trailer to make light of the situation. [Thanks, Petah!]
