RIAA Hacked Again

Posted Dec 30, 2002

The RIAA foolishly left the content management administration page for their homepage open to the public: anyone can add a new press release here (update: cached copy). The real-time edits are reflected immediately on their homepage. (Old entries are archived on their press releases page. Possibly not safe for work, depending on what's been recently posted.)

You heard it here first. Don't expect this to stay up for long. Update: They took their site down. You can use the cached pages in the comments to view the original pages, or view Jason Kottke's screenshots of the hacked pages. (Thanks to Phil for the tip.)

The press releases URL redirects to http://www.isonews.com/ now. Strange.
