UPDATE: I forgot to do this yeasterday. LGF reports that an employee of Reuters has been suspended over this incident according to an email Charles received from their security department. Whoopsie.
Little Green Footballs has an absolutely astonishing post up about some lovely hate mail they received. Which appears to have originated from Reuters itself.
At 3:23 am, this creature used our contact form to send the following email with the obviously phony Hotmail address ‘zionistpig@hotmail.com’ and the subject line, “You bunch of wankers.”
I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut….
Well, isn’t that tolerant.
But this particular death threat is a bit different from the run of the mill hate mail we get around here, because an IP lookup on the sender reveals that he/she/it was using an account at none other than Reuters News: RIPE Whois Database: 192.165.213.18. (Please note: the name and address below are those of Reuters’ technical contact, not the name of the freak responsible for our hate mail. Please do not send him email.)
There are a series of updates that get more and more interesting. The question now becomes, is this a sock puppet? We certainly hope so! We LOVE making fun of new sock puppets! It's quite obvious the email is definitely from someone at Reuters – how else could they get access to the system?
It's always astonishing to me how so many people are completely ignorant of the technology they are using. Thinking you have anonymity on the internet is quite foolish. It seems the MSM is really clueless about it, though. More than the average.
