CNN International Breached, Accounts Leaked, Fake Articles Claim to be Posted By @Reckz0r – fake leak-

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Lee J

cnn-logo### UPDATE:

Ok some recent data has come to light about reckz0r that makes all of his leaks questionable, this article will stay as proof of fake leaks and false claims and doctoring of data done by this "hacker" who is no more then a thief and media whore. All hacks by this hacker will be classed as fake and false by CWN and most likely all other media. Orginal story: A hacker who has been quite for some time now in headlines has come back out with a claim that they have hacked CNN’s international Edition website (https://edition.cnn.com/). > The international edition of CNN.com is constantly updated to bring you the top news stories from around the world. It is produced by dedicated staff in London and Hong Kong, working with colleagues at CNN’s world headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and with bureaus worldwide.

The hacker who is known as @Reckz0r who i have wrote about in the past has posted a leak to pastebin a short time ago making a claim they have hacked CNN and announced this from twitter.> CNN Hacked! – pastebin.com/YQLv6t3E @anon_central @anonop_uk @anon_operations @anonnewsde @cyber_war_news@6 @globanonymous@anonirc — Reckz0r (@Reckz0r) May 20, 2013

In the post comes a short statement which states that CNN has been hacked for false news reports and also makes further claims that they have published 4 fake articles, which i could not locate or distinguish on the site and the leak also comes with small amount of data leaked from the websites database with claims that anyone who can figure out the 4 fake articles is able to obtain the complete database from them (the hacker).

Sup? It’s been a long fuckin’ time, my friends, Today. I shall show you that silence is golden when you’re trying to tap into more systems, and leak more crap. My target was ‘CNN’. "Why?", you must say? because they’re a bunch of fucking faggots trying to spread false news, your 9/11 is our 24/7. I strongly respect the Palestinian brotherhood, and it seems like CNN is on Israel’s side. and you do know one thing; "Whenever you see somebody supporting CNN, pwn him at sight." Their systems are poorly-misconfigured, just like how NASA’s DIRS is full of crap. CNN is no different from them, anyway. nuff’ talkin’ – Let the good ol’ show begin. PUZZLE: I wrote 4 fake articles on edition.cnn.com, if you can guess what articles are those, I shall give you a crown, plus full-backup of CNN<3

The site breached as you can see is the International Edition site for CNN and the leaked data that has been published to paste bin is 9 administrator accounts with usernames, user IDs and encrypted passwords along with a list of database tables. cnn-hacked Just 15 hours before the leak was announced they had made another announcement stating that something big was coming as well as being back. reckz0r-reckz0r-on-twitter Note at time of publishing i could not locate any duplicate data nor could i 100% confirm this data and Reckz0r has not replied to my questions. Also like to note the paste was posted to Reckz0r known pastebin account and is exactly 1 year and 1 day from their last post which was titled The anonymous Experiance. Last year Reckz0r had made some big headlines with attacks leaving thousands of accounts leaked. more to come when possible.
