Newscorp or LulzSec?

Not to excuse Lulzsec's actions, but don't you think that we should hold an international news organization to a higher standard?
We should... they are sufficiently compensated for their position as an international news organisation, that they should operate at a higher standard.
But the internet has leveled the playing field. We should hold ourselves to a similar standard. Rather than lulzing as it burns. We should step up.

I read through the pastebin (the source is currently down) and I'm still not quite sure I get how Lulzsec did this. Could you (or someone) explain?
Heh, not sure how the pastebin got mixed up but I updated the post above. It was setting parent.location.href to the twitter account.
Thanks for updating! I've opened the new pastebin but still am not sure how it all worked together with the sun website to get it to redirect.

That html page is normally included on the homepage as an iframe. The pastebin is entirely untelling of how it got there, but it is the source of the redirect.

That's sort of like telling insurgents that they should engage in an infantry battle instead of roadside bombs. You can disagree with the cause but it's pretty obvious, given their capabilities, that they have to play by different rules.
Lulzsec don't have a half dozen global media organizations to push their point of view -- they have funny website redirects and email dumps. So that's what they're doing.
EDIT: Hey downmodder, read, I gave you permission to disagree with the cause if you want. Comment is about tactics.

You're acting like this has anything to do with the News of the World allegations, other than the fact that it is what gave them the idea. It's mostly about them entertaining themselves. Lulzsec/antisec does have a message (essentially that the security industry is exploitative) but when they act under Lulzsec it really is just for the lulz.

Do you happen to know how it got there? Though the pastebin does not show it.
