SwagSec Shows Amy Winehouse and Justin Beiber Fans The Meaning of Swag

A Relatively obscure and unheard of hacker group calling itself SwagSec has set its sights on pop musicians Amy Winehouse and Justin Beiber, hacking Amy Winehouse's website and releasing the personal information including names, addresses, emails, passwords and phone numbers of thousands of fans of both of the singers. SwagSec's twitter account @swagsec is full of 4chan-esque rants about KFC, and rapper Lil B, whom they posted photos of and a shout out to in their most recent hacks. "WE ARE HERE TO TAKE BACK THE INTERNET .--.wHoOp.--. FROM THE WHITE DEVIL. WE ARE A TEAM OF HOMOSEXUAL NEGROS AND WE ARE PROUD OF IT." states the heading of their twitter feed, but what makes this group particularly interesting is their apparent hatred for Anonymous, AntiSec, and LulzSec, even "serving" them with an "eviction notice". Whoever they are, for now they seem solely focused on the music industry, unlike other 4chan inspired hackers. Swagsec's Twitter feed can be found in the links below.

Fox News Twitter Account Hacked by Script Kiddies, Tweets of Obama's Death Greatly Exaggerated

Well it looks like Barack Obama may soon be rethinking his recent Twitter excursions after Fox News' Twitter feed was hacked by a group referring to itself as "The Script Kiddies" and tweets claiming the President was dead and wishing Joe Biden the best of luck started finding their way onto the feed.  That's bad enough, but Fox didn't remove the articles for nearly eight hours after they were posted, leading some people to believe them to be genuine. To Fox's credit, they did contact the Secret Service, and the posts were eventually removed, but @FoxNewsPolitics has around 33,000 Followers, so the story spread rapidly across the internet.  From the looks of things, "The Script Kiddies" also made taunting posts as well, which were removed quickly, refering unsurprisingly to both Anonymous, as well as #antisec.  See an interview with someone claiming to speak for "The Script Kiddies" in the following link.
