Saddam's Inbox Hacked
I couldn't resist posting a quote of this one!

from the in-order-to-have-your-advice dept.

MotorMachineMercenar writes "Wired News is reporting that Saddam Hussein's email account (press@uruklink.net) has been hacked into. The account had a five-letter login with the same password. Messages in his inbox sent from all over the world included everything from death threats to business propositions to offers to sell him WMDs. A choice quote from the article: 'One AOL user sent Saddam a one-word message: 'Imminent.' Attached to the Aug. 6 e-mail was a photograph of an atomic mushroom cloud.' I wonder what the login was." You'd think it was "press," password "press," but if it were that obvious I think someone would have said so.

Somehow I am thinking that the username was "SATAN" and the password was "SATAN" , certainly if South Park is anything to go by.

That is hilarious, you would figure someone like that sould have a little more security than that. And if he doesn't know what he is doing then I"m sure he has someone on hire that does.

He deserves every bit of it.

Yeah that is funny...lol...

Who's to say it's his real email address?

I would think his password is something like $sd#%JDjgatch()@^Saddam1-67&*

I think his e-mail address is probably something like SICK_SOB@Hell.com and his password is FASCISTSAREUS
