ARLINGTON, Va., May 30 (UPI) -- U.S. broadcaster PBS -- the Public Broadcasting Service -- says hackers posted a bogus story on its Web site claiming rapper Tupac Shakur is alive.
Hackers, apparently displeased with a recent PBS report about WikiLeaks, took over the Web site Saturday evening and also published passwords, e-mail addresses and other fake pages, The New York Times reported Monday.
The group identified itself on Twitter as @lulzsec or The Lulz Boat and posted passwords and e-mail addresses of people from a variety of news organizations.
Teresa Gorman, a PBS employee, responded to questions Saturday via Twitter and acknowledged the Shakur story was false.
Shakur was shot to death in Las Vegas in 1996.
"Anyway, say hello to the inside of the PBS servers, folks. They best watch where they're sailing next time," the hijackers posted on the broadcaster's site.
Officials said the hijackers have breached other news Web sites in the past.
