The crisis of this election is huge that he has to suspend his campaign to deal with the problem!
But really, I wish people didn’t pull immature crap like this because it makes all of us libtards look bad…oh, wait…
Fucking asshats gonna cost us this thing…somehow the ebony unicorn will get the blame for this…
Whaaa??? Hax0rs?
I also love the immediate redirect to barackobama.com…
This will just anger them more…
Oh, so it’s a fake hack? Then I totally approve and am laughing–out loud, even!

Soon enough…
Where’s the SIREN?!?!
They could have at least highjacked the site to some porn. That way, everybody wins!
I suspect anyone on Wonkette who has ever made a Dungeons & Dragons reference.
demtard: Actually it’s a redirect on mouseover of the “endorses Obama” banner.
WonderWomyn: Isn’t it strange how we never hear that in response to a stupid GOP-sympathizin’ stunt (e.g., Ashley Todd)? Is it that this side doesn’t get mad, or that they just don’t care if we do?
FTW to a whole new level.
Walnuts is the ultimate Warsh-ington outsider…so much that that he’s suspending his campaign again the day before the election…that’ll move the polls
A pleasant thought. In the coming civil war, while the wingnuts will be taking over freeways with their guns and flags and camo, the liberals will electronically empty what’s left of their bank accounts.
Wow, that didn’t take long, 4 min. till it was back up.
Of course that doesn’t really leave enough time for them to have figured out the vulnerability on their site. Their web admin should be getting hazard pay.
mookworthjwilson: yes, but ebony unicorns don’t lose no matter what.
The McCain campaign has to be struggling to find one of the three Republican computer programmers to fix the hack.
drunkenredneck: Excellent, I did some reading and this is teh fake, I feel like a tool.
Hilarious! 4chan posse in the tank.
drunkenredneck: The password is probably “password”.
Tommy Says Soooo: Clearly my THAC0 of 10 was good enough to hit John of McCain’s AC of 7… because I roll twenties?
Cape Clod: that’s a good point. they have guns. we have hax0rs.
This is just a test to see if the levees break by having a premature Hopegasm. Bring extra towels, Kleenex, and Sara K’s political spermicide.
4tehlulz: Just looking at the link (to an event) I bet it is an sql injection attack. Someone probably added the event using some sql statements and the input wasn’t parametrized.
MoonshineJoe:
HAXX0R attacks McCain’s Internets Security Golem
HAXX0R rolls a natural 20 - Critical Hit!
HAXX0R’s +3 Vorpal Sword of Golem Slaying decapitates Golem
HAXX0R gains 10,000 XP and McCain campaign loses -2 points to Charisma score
4tehlulz: or Wasilla High.
Drudge 40 point font in 3..2..1..
Gee, kids, things are starting to get giddy around here. Now don’t get over-heated with all this running around and remember to water down your apple juice.
This isn’t really a HACK. it’s a XSS vulnerability. so no one really “hacked” their site.. its just their web developers could done a better job.
It’s a fake, but perhaps the McCain web team will spend the next 24 hours searching for the offending files on the server and wondering how it’s happening. Perhaps they’ll need to clean the tubes with teh giant pipe-cleaner.
Cape Clod: WIN. How can you finance a race war when All Your Bank Are Belong To Us?
They are such amateurs not too have already fixed this. I guess they are all working on their resumes or out get loaded to drown their sorrows.
american mutt: Cape Clod: that’s a good point. they have guns. we have hax0rs.
Mutt you don’t know the right hax0rs, all my geeks are reinactors to boot. Nothin like a bunch of nerds dressed up like the Wehrmact with working MP-5’s arguing about the OPness of Warlocks in WoW and drinking vodka from tin cups. goodtimes goodtimes.
Ok, McCain has just lost it. Coal, Nukes, Oil, San Francisco!
It’s not really a hack - McCainnation is a sub-site where anyone can post almost anything they want.
So relax, nobody hacked anything.
It’s a simple XSS attack. Nothing to see here, folks…
Maj. Major Major Major: I r wrong. It is XSS and not sql injection. Back to arguing about how OP ret pallies are now.
Viva la Cynthia: Heck, the right never apologizes for anything. Meanwhile if someone on the left even blows their nose in their directions, they want a full retraction and repudiation.
I don’t recommend anything, but a person could have a lot of fun with John McCain’s Find.aspx
DeathOfIrony: That is my hope.
mookworthjwilson: Sadly, I agree. Messing with their website could cause some blowback. Too bad. I don’t know anything about this hacking stuff but when I realized I could copy the URL and change the message to “McCain collapses at rally in Virginia” I came really close to sending it to my repug relatives.
4tehlulz: Actually, I was the hacker that did this and the password wasn’t “password.” It was two-level entry with the initial login being much harder to figure “trollop.”
The second login was a 4-letter word beginning with C.
Maybe John McCain validates his data at the form layer like they used to do back in the 1950s or whatever.
God Bless America land of the Freedom rings. No really.
It’s a trick, everyone! John announces he is quitting today, we get drunk tonight and blow off voting tomorrow, and he pops back up tomorrow with a “Just kidding!”.
Holy XSS hole, Batman!
