U2.con HACKED?????

[U2_Guy]

It was Ponkine.

 

[alanah]

OMG, I can't believe this has happened.

 

[vaz02]

HAHAHA

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

What did it look like? It looks fine to me now

And it's not funny to hack someone's web site, I know about people who have done that not funny or cool at all

 

[Jeffo17]

It had A Black background and Green Writing which was looking like it was being types it said it had been hacked by Boral... Mission Complete.. yeh some lame guy

 

[waynetravis]

!!!

 

[Caroni]

It´s not normal yet!!!! I can´t see U2.com just the spider

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

The text is in Bahasa Indonesia. It's done from my part of the woods.

Anyway it doesn't seem malicious, considering the message 'patch your site admin'.

 

[Jeef690]

Not a very intelligent hacker if he only hacked the splash page.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Not a very intelligent hacker if he only hacked the splash page.

As I've said before, it doesn't seem to be a malicious attack.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i hope bono wasn't hacked

 

[bono_man2002]

i hope bono wasn't hacked

 

[Zooropean103]

It should be a good lesson for u2.com... I hope.

If you have a Mac you can't see it -- it's only if you have a PC. There's a screencap up on the general Tour site in case you don't want to download this one.

 

[Utoo]

Brilliant!


Except....the guy's an idiot. If you google "bagol," you'll see that he's been elsewhere:

[LemonMelon]

That guy didn't even bother to do anything good to U2.com. All he did was write...

"BAGOL WUZ HERE!! HI MOM!! LOOK AT ME I HACKED U2.COM!! AREN'T I SPECIAL!!!"

 

[phillyfan26]

So, it's fixed now isn't it?

I missed it.

 

[Lancemc]

Did anyone take a screencap of this? Can't believe I missed it. Damn.

 

[Chizip]

If you click on the first link I posted, you'll see the whole thing, moving & all.

[GibsonGirl]

It's sad, really. Bagol was the most exciting thing to ever happen to U2.com.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Hahaha, owned.

That's hilarious. Even more hilarious than U2.com's many and varied mistakes and factual errors.

It's okay guys, Bono wasn't in New York - he's fine!

 

[GibsonGirl]

It's okay guys, Bono wasn't in New York - he's fine!

Phew, I nearly had a heart attack there.

 

[dezmaas]

Bagol = single lonely turd with no girlfriend and no life.

 

[Caroni]

This quote belongs here

The site is normal again but I don´t think U2.com staff fixed it, I think that it was a nice hacker and he decided to fix u2.com because he is a fan

 

[LMP]

It was Ponkine.

Did you see any smileys?

I rest my case.

 

[david]

Why's everyone being mean to Bagol? He doesn't seem to do any real damage to the site's he hacks. He just points out an obvious security issue and that's all.
