Safari
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-2398

terminated. This issue does not affect Mac OS X systems.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Hacked?

Harry Potter Spoiler Spreads

A hacker who goes by the moniker “Gabriel” claims he has hacked someone at Bloomsbury’s in London and has snatched himself a complete digital copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. If what “Gabriel” says is true, then that means tons of new spoilers for the book are now available online and we are going to have allot of very upset Harry Potter fans. The spoilers the hacker gives away basically tells who dies in the last book.

“We make this spoiler to make reading of the upcoming book useless and boring,” Gabriel wrote “It’s amazing to see how much people inside the company have copies and drafts of this book.”

We are also have to remember that potential troll posts like this one have also occurred on two previous Harry Potter books; both of which were not true. If you are interested in the potential spoilers, please see the link below:
