Fullerton Observer Hacked

The last remaining Observers awoke this morning only to discover that the website of Fullerton’s favorite liberal rag had been digitally violated by rogue Internet vandals.

Several years’ worth of error-ridden editorials and retyped city press releases have been replaced with a single web page containing an indecipherable message and some horrible trance music.

The number of readers who will be affected by this outage is unknown, but private documents released by the Observer in a court last summer revealed that the Observer’s online readership is insignificant in comparison to that of its digital neighbors.

It is also unknown how much of the Fullerton Observer’s priceless archives were lost in the attack. Let’s hope SK keeps a backup.

    1. Let’s hope they get back on line so they can do a fitting tribute to Pam Keller as the door hits her on the way out.

  2. Anyone mind telling us how you knew this? Put another way, what idiot on the Friends staff is wasting the time to check that site and why?

  3. This is who our brave anarchist picks on? Wow, taking down a list of pdfs on an independent newspaper. Wouldn’t want to interrupt the banking sector or maybe big pharma, would you? Maybe you can get a job with the government.

    1. I think that’s the point of the post. The Observer is the lowest hanging fruit possible. In fact it’s not even hanging it’s already on the ground.

  4. why?why?why?why? why?why? whaa, whaa, whaa, why? by SK of fullerton, daughter of THE ROCKET SCIENTIST/laid off aerospace worker in the 1960’s

  5. I think the hackers improved the site a little bit. I wonder if they made off with Kennedy’s famous portrait of the city council?
