Fox loses employees' information in a second hack attack
RUPERT MURDOCH'S US right wing propaganda channel, the televistion network Fox Broadcasting has been hacked again, losing hundreds of employees' account details just weeks after it suffered an earlier security breach.

Earlier this month Fox suffered a major security breach that led to the theft of personal information of US X Factor TV show contestants. It seems that Fox's network administrators hadn't learnt their lession and a group calling itself Lulz Security has once again managed to breach Fox's apparently weak defences.

Aside from posting a rather humorous message to a number of Fox employees, Lulz Security members hijacked the Twitter and Linkedin profiles of some Fox employees. It seems that like many people, some of Fox's employees had used the same password for multiple services, meaning that once Fox's security had been breached it was open season on other accounts.
