PewDiePie fans hack The Wall Street Journal and write an article on behalf of the newspaper

That fandom on the Internet becomes obsessive and even dangerous is nothing new, but the PewDiePie seems to be going beyond what had been seen so far in favor of a youtuber.

If first there were thousands of printers hacked (although initially with the intention of showing their vulnerability) with documents that asked to follow the Swedish star, now it has been The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) who has suffered on their servers an attack by part of his fans.

PewDiewPie fans are on fire because the youtuber with the most subscribers in the world can lose their position against T-Series, a channel without personal videos dedicated to songs and trailers. However, most seem to be with the WSJ, which at the time published an investigation on the alleged anti-Semitic language of Swedish.

That caused YouTube as a platform to terminate the collaboration of the YouTube series Red Scare PewDiePie. In addition, Disney also ended its contract with Disney Maker Studios. Since then, and although that matters little on YouTube, the image of PewDiePie has never been the same, something that the fandom does not forgive.

The result? The hacking of one of the publicity webs of the WSJ that is not part of the informative area of ​​the newspaper. Instead of eliminating the story that caused the controversy, he has written and published an article entitled "The WallStreet Journal's public apology to PewDiePie." Although it has been eliminated, it can be read here.
Wsj Hack

In it, in addition to apologizing to PewDiePie with an improper style of such a newspaper, there is talk that "due to the misrepresentation of journalists, who have already been dismissed, we sponsored PewDiePie to reach the maximum number of subscribers and overcome Tseries to 80 million. " After that, they jokingly ask for credit card numbers to win at Fortnite.
Meme Meme inserted in the hacking to The Wall Street Journal

As we see, they mix the issue of the offense of the WSJ with the possible loss of the hegemony on YouTube of PewDiewPie, whose channel they remember again with a link that expresses the typical "Subscribe". After that, the meme we see on these lines makes a stellar appearance.

Universal Music Group has revealed that 'Bohemian Rhapsody' has just become the song of the last century that has been heard more times in streaming, surpassing the 1,600 million reproductions.   The acclaimed song of the iconic band Queen recorded more than 40 years ago and part of the Hall of Fame of the Grammys has taken the place of another classic, but from the 90s, 'Smell Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana. The number of reproductions counts both those made in Spotify and Apple Music and other streaming music services, as well as the reproductions that the video has on YouTube. In Spotify the song is about to reach 600 million views and on YouTube the video has just over 750 million. One of the reasons why the song had a boost in popularity recently have to do with the biopic about Freddy Mercury and the band that premiered recently, titled in the same way as the song: Bohemian Rhapsody. While other twentieth-century songs like Nirvana's 'Smell l...

"Malicious Memes", how a new type of malware is taking advantage of hidden code in Twitter images

Image
Trend Micro security researchers have identified a new threat that they have called "malicious memes." Basically, it's a new type of malware that receives its code instructions hidden in memes posted on Twitter. Cybercriminals exploiting this use an old technique (stenography) to hide malicious code in images and evade security, the novelty here is that they are using the technique in images that are shared in the social network. Now, the malware itself is not downloaded from Twitter and the mechanism used to infect users, or where it comes from, or the intentions behind it has not yet been identified. It is a remote access Trojan that when infecting the computer can take screenshots and steal other system data that it then sends to its control server. It seems to be an experiment The authors of the malware identified by Trend Micro published two tweets with malicious memes last October through a Twitter account created in 2017. The memes contained an embedded command...
