Spell seed: Hacked.

Hacked

Hacked is a subtle, but potentially deadly spell: when cast on a person, it makes him think that he’s deleted a comment on social media without posting it, when in reality he’s just hit Enter. The spell also alters the victim’s short-term memory so that he does not actually remember writing the comment in the first place. If the victim is not currently posting on social media when Hacked is cast, the spell stays in place for eight hours, then dissipates. Continue reading Spell seed: Hacked.

New Mexico Attorney General Gary King’s (Democrat) …links… to stolen emails.

Oh man but this is going to throw a spanner into the works for Democrats in New Mexico next year.

Obama campaign site hacked.

I would like to note for the record that there is not yet any indication that any kind of personal information, including credit card information, was stolen from the Obama for America (OfA) campaign website during the period when it was insecure. Preliminary accounts indicate that the hack was limited to a redirect of mobile applications to a list of general ‘anti-government criticisms.’

Nonetheless, computer security is of course very important, so I suggest that OfA subscribers contact info@barackobama.com if they have any concerns or questions about the status of their accounts, or the security of the data found within.
