Hadley Stern over at Apple Matters made this interesting post today in which he admits the Malcor hack of his site was a hoax… as part of a publicity stunt.
Says Hadley: “I made a mistake of judging the inpact of this hoax. Apple Matters runs on the incredibly perfect platform Expression Engine and is hosted by Engine hosting, which is a fantastic company. When I was first approached me about the hoax I thought it was a little harmless fun. I am literally shaking right now because I did not fully understand the impact of this, so lesson learnt. Again, Apple Matters, running on expression engine was in no way hacked. It was a joke publicity stunt that I thought would be funny to attract attention.”

Update: Read this blog post from ExpressionEngine and EngineHosting regarding the hoax. (A few of the sites ‘affected’ in this host used ExpressionEngine CMS and EngineHosting which were both in no way a part of this hoax.)
