Hackers hit The Sun, posting story that Murdoch’s body was found in a garden.

A group of Internet hackers took aim at Rupert Murdoch late Monday, defacing the website of U.K. tabloid The Sun.

Visitors to The Sun website were redirected to a page featuring a story saying Murdoch’s dead body had been found in his garden.

Internet hacking collective Lulz Security took responsibility for the hacking attack via Twitter, calling it a successful part of “Murdoch Meltdown Monday.”

“We have owned Sun/News of the World,” the group posted on its Twitter account, later adding what it claimed were details of hacked internal staff data from The Sun and eventually redirecting the paper’s website to its own Twitter feed.

Lulz Security, which has previously claimed hacks on major entertainment companies, FBI partner organizations and the CIA, hinted that more was yet to come, saying “This is only the beginning.”

With the Murdoch’s now on the firing line in front of the MPs, one can only hope that they give him the grilling that he deserves. Let’s hope they ask the questions that other media outlets have been unwilling to ask.
