Miley Cyrus Hacker Raided by FBI

Holly (aka TrainReq) who allegedly uploaded pictures of 15-year-old Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus onto the net was raided by the FBI on Monday.

The Agents carried away three computers and a mobile phone for forensic examination after raiding the Murfreesboro, Tennessee, home of Josh Holly. The 19-year-old allegedly boasted online that he'd broken into the star's Gmail account and downloaded suggestive pictures, which reportedly included pictures of the underage star "posing provocatively".


According to the register he reportedly admitted breaking into Cyrus's webmail account and the star's webmail page, which shared the same password, after successfully accessing the star's MySpace control panel. He allegedly boasted about his exploit in interviews with bloggers and other interested parties, Wired reports, claiming that he used social engineering trickery to gain access to the MySpace admin panel.


Josh H., claims he was able to gain administrative access to MySpace systems after posing as a admin buddy of another administrator, and requesting login credentials via IM messages. The hacker allegedly gained free run of MySpace's systems for 16 hours until MySpace realised something was wrong and revoked the compromised login credentials.

Al Arabiya website hacked

Al Arabiya, the Dubai-based pan-Arab television station said its website had been hacked, according to a report.
The hacked website,
alarabiya.net, displayed an Israeli flag set on fire and a statement that read: 'Serious warning: If attacks on Shia websites continue, none of your websites will be safe,' according to the Emirates Business report.
'Hackers seized Al Arabiya's domain shortly after midnight through a security loophole in the domain. They claim to be Shias but there is no proof of that,' Anas Fouda, editorial manager of the website, was quoted as saying in the report.
Some websites claimed that Dubai Media City had warned Al Arabiya to ensure its news content did not cause tensions among different Muslim groups.

Adsense with Infolinks.

Im using adsense along with infolinks in this blog. I did not customise the default script for infolinks as it can be easily distinguished from other links. I havent encountered any issues as yet. I find it really cool. I think the reports for infolinks are not live. But since its in the initial stage, moving forward infolinks will definately add more features like referral programs and other things.
