Gear Diary MacRumors Live hacked during Macworld keynote coverage photo

Observers watching the live coverage of the Macworld keynote on popular web site Macrumors probably noticed the site was hacked for at least the last portion of the keynote coverage 20 minutes during which phony messages such as “STEVE JOBS JUST DIED” were injected in between the site’s commentary of the keynote. I started noticing the hack at about 12:30 pm (various other sites have screen shots showing it happening about 12:25 pm). Then at about 12:40 the site was re-directing visitors to Macrumors regular site before both the Macrumorslive.com and Macrumors.com domains went offline.
