Is This Anonymous Group Behind the New York Times WikiLeaks Hoax?
http://j.mp/PWZC09 (BetaBeat)
"Early this morning, a pro-WikiLeaks op-ed purporting to be penned
by former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller cropped up
online. It was a stunningly convincing piece of web fraud, its
design practically identical to the New York Times's own homepage,
with every link leading to an actual Times article or section. The
only hint that it wasn't real was the URL: instead of showing as
nytimes.com/pages/opinion, it read "opinion-nytimes.com." It's a
tiny difference, but a monumentally important one."
