"Breaking news from the internet Hackers from the website known as Ebaumsworld have hacked into Bill O'rileys website and aquired a list of usernames and passwords from the premium membership..."
"...at first it was a joke then we found out that the same usernames and passwords worked for those peoples paypal accounts and im afraid of what they will do."

I know O'Reilly isn't wildly popular, but some of you might know a fan or 2 of his.
Just in case, it seems as if some of the Premium members may have used the same password for his site & other sites, inc. Paypal.
And again, these people are such sick little liars, this might all be smoke.
But just in case...better for me to say something & look like a fool, than stay silent & feel like a fool.
P-R-I-S-O-N
Thanks for posting. If they are doing this to O’Reilly, what is going to keep them from going after Rush where they would get a whole host of names/passwords from conservatives?
Feds need to make an example of these lowlifes.
“Wikileaks” needs to be sued, somehow and someway.
If you're the sort of person that uses the same password at multiple sites, change them all.
I'd like to mention that KeePass is a great, free app to manage passwords. It also has a password generation feature.
Hacking into BOR will cause you to talk all big and not do crap ‘cause they will get his cooties.
Agreed
I’m seriously doubting this. Yet members of any site with accounts should be ever vigilant.
I agree. Some serious jail time is needed for these hackers.
No, it wasn’t Ebaums world... I haven’t been in /b/ or /i/ for a long time but the common thing to do after everything potential illegal was to blame it on ebaums world... everyone hates ebaums world...
Looks like everyone there has already changed their passwords. I tried to sign in as Dennis Miller. I wanted to be a smartass like him.
The info on the leaked page didn’t work.
Nope, can’t say I know any…

Thanks so much for the link...
gonna pour myself another glass of wine & edjicate muhself.
Not a member, but am not stupid enough to think this can’t happen to me.
It post their Real names, email addy’s screen names, etc.
This is not cool. These criminals must be stopped!
If this really happened we will hear about it elsewhere.
You might want to screen shot that and email it to the justice department and any other place you can think of...they do actually put people in jail for that and DU is being an accomplice.
I read some of the posts & there is quite a discussion
re: 4chan.com/Ebaumsworld
Rather than taking sides with any of those a**hats, I just posted a link to the page.
post that link
Ebaums, nice try guys. After 4chan hacks a site, they blame it on Ebaums to get the rival site in trouble. They’re the same tards who feed on palins email like starved piranhas.
