Hackers get Harry Potter too?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Gadget and tech site Gizmodo has just linked to an email whose sender claims that they hacked into Bloomsbury’s servers and got their hands on the final manuscript of the yet unpublished seventh and last part of the Harry Potter series -Â Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows .

While Gizmodo does say that this could be a hoax, I read the spoilers in the email announcement and this seems to be a really surprising way to end the book. Let’s just say that I can see a Bollywood type ending involving puppy love and sacrifice.

Here is the sender explaining why he/she/they did it.

Yes, we did it.
We did it by following the precious words of the great Pope Benedict XVI when he still was Cardinal Josepth Ratzinger.
He explained why Harry Potter bring the youngs of our earth to Neo Paganism faith.
So we make this spoiler to make reading of the upcoming book useless and boring.
The attack strategy was the easiest one.
The usual milw0rm downloaded exploit delivered by email/click-on-the-link/open-browser/click-on-this-animated-icon/back- connect to some employee of Bloomsbury Publishing, the company that’s behind the Harry crap.
It’s amazing to see how much people inside the company have copies and drafts of this book.
Curiosity killed the cat.
Who kill curiosity?
To protect you and your families
God bless you

Some funny shit, I say!

    Anantha, this has happened for every HP book release. One look at that link, and one knows, the dude has no clue about who Harry Potter is. Vidunga vidunga, neengalum! :)
