This is just plain silly. The MacRumorsLive site (http://www.macrumorslive.com) got hacked only about 25 minutes into them covering the keynote. I took a quick screen capture of when the hack first reared its ugly head:
After the tasteless insert of “STEVE JOBS JUST DIED” into the live blogging, things just got progressively worse with a bunch of “hackers” claiming to be from “ebaums world”, “4chan” and other sites and ma.thew.net (I believe, taking this from memory). It wasn’t pretty. In fact, it got pretty ugly after a while. Their twitter account was taken over as well. They publicly announced that they had to end their coverage via Twitter.
It’s unfortunate that this type of thing happens. I’m sure that there will be a lot of press coverage of this event.
