Hackers Target Murdoch-Owned Paper
LONDON — A group of internet hackers claims to have tampered with the website of Rupert Murdoch’s Sun newspaper.
Visitors to The Sun’s website late Monday were redirected to a page featuring a story saying Murdoch’s dead body had been found in his garden.
Lulz Security took responsibility via Twitter, calling it a successful part of “Murdoch Meltdown Monday.”
Lulz Security has previously claimed hacks on major entertainment companies, FBI partner organizations and the CIA.
Murdoch is due to appear before a parliamentary committee Tuesday to answer lawmakers’ questions over phone-hacking at News International, his British newspaper division.
The phone hacking scandal has prompted the closure of Murdoch’s News of the World.

Charlie Sheen Announces New Sitcom
(NewsCore) – Charlie Sheen will make his return to television in a sitcom titled “Anger Management,” which is based on the 2003 film of the same name, Entertainment Weekly reported Monday.
Sheen will play “a mild-mannered, non-confrontational man” who is “ordered to attend group anger management sessions led by a therapist who could probably use some anger management himself.”
The former “Two and a Half Men” star said he does not personally relate to the subject matter, but chose “Anger Management” as his next project because it has a “great concept” and will afford him “a certain amount of creative control” and the opportunity to work with producer Joe Roth, with whom he worked on the movies “Major League” and “Young Guns,” the report said.
Lionsgate Television Group will produce the series alongside Revolution Studios and distributor Debmar-Mercury.
