The merry band of hackers has resurrected after a few weeks of retirement to target Rupert Murdoch and News International.

LulzSec has reunited to take on Rupert Murdoch's newspapers, as it hacked the website for his tabloid The Sun and posted a story saying Murdoch was found dead in his garden. The article, which was ground in as much truth as much of the of The Sun's content, said Murdoch had ingested too much of the chemical palladium in an apparent suicide attempt. News International, which owns The Sun, The Times, and the recently shuttered News of the World, said it has tightened its security in the wake of the attack. Murdoch is appearing before Parliament today with his son James and News International executive Rebekah Brooks for what's basically the Super Bowl of parliamentary democracy.
