The hacker group Lulz Security has reportedly brought down the Sun''s website and redirected viewers to a fake news story claiming Rupert Murdoch had been found dead at his home.
The group took credit for the attack on Twitter, saying, ‘We have owned Sun/News of the World.’
Viewers of the tabloid website were redirected to a mocked up news story with the headline ‘Media moguls body discovered [sic]’.
“Murdoch, aged 80, has said to have ingested a large quantity of palladium before stumbling into his famous topiary garden late last night, passing out in the early hours of the morning,” it added.
