Just days after publishing U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's personal email messages, the Wikileaks Web site has published data about members who signed up for a section of Fox Television host Bill O'Reilly's Web site.
Hackers were able to obtain a list of Billoreilly.com premium members, including email addresses, site passwords and the city and state where they live. Some of the information was published Friday on Wikileaks.com, which has been under fire from conservative commentators, including O'Reilly, for publishing Palin's messages.
"Wikileaks has been informed the hack was a response to the pundit's recent scurrilous attacks over the Sarah Palin's email story -- including on Wikileaks and other members of the press," Wikileaks said on its site. "Hacktivists, thumbing their noses at the pundit, took control of O'Reilly's main site, Billoreilly.com."

Bill is gonna go nuts! This is gonna be fun to watch!
I hope he rips them a new one. He will be very protective of his viewers.
I smell a lawsuit.
Very pithy!
doesn’t turn O’Reilly into a sanctimonious blowhard.
That could never happen!

As for this news about Bob's site being hacked -- it had better get a lot of TV time. It's not fair to his site's users and clients to not know they've been hacked. It's not good enough to simply tell them their account info has been compromised either. Today I saw screenshots of 100s of peoples' personal info in the hands of people who would love to hack into their accounts on other sites using the same login passwords. Shame on Bill O Reilly and Fox News for having such a weak site security system, they are just as much to blame as the hackers on this one. Their customers should be furious.
Both of them? Wow!
It is sick that people do this crap.
Hammer them hard.
Spare nothing in getting the empty suit elected.
bttt
not there yet....key word ‘yet’
I wonder if O'Reilly is going to continue his salacious lust for Obama after this.
It is Obama's thugs that are doing this stuff, and it is disgusting.
We are nearing a moment of truth as the battle of Americans versus democrats is really heating up.
Ping.
No but you're now the No Falafel Zone.
