PewDiePie fans hack Wall Street Journal in the midst of battle with T-Series In yet another surprising development during the YouTube race between Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg and T-Series, hackers have struck again to pledge their support for the Swedish YouTuber. PewDiePie is no stranger to receiving some help from outside sources in the battle between him and T-Series, but the help he\u2019s gotten from hackers continues to be the most extensive of all. After two instances of hackers tapping into printers worldwide and one Grand Theft Auto Online hacking, it seems the hackers have set their sites even higher this time in going after The Wall Street Journal. On December 17, hackers tapped into the WSJ website to post a fake apology letter in support of PewDiePie in the race to 80 million subscribers on YouTube. \u201cWallStreet Journal Public Apology to PewDiePie.\u201d is the title of the post that is filled with plenty of spelling errors all throughout. \u201cWallStreet Journal would like to apologize to pewdiepie. Due to misrepresentation by our journalists, those of whom have now been fired, we are sponsoring pewdiepie to reach maximum subscribers and beat Tseries to 80million.\u201d While the page was quickly taken down, the online archives of the page are stillreadily available. The person responsible for the post claims to have obtained the login credentials for the Journal\u2019s content management system, saying \u201ctheir password was their username.\u201d For his part, PewDiePie seemed to love the whole situation, first Tweeting about the hack and then saying that \u201cWSJ is still on angery [sic] list.\u201d Given the lengths at which PewDiePie fans have gone to support the YouTuber, there\u2019s no telling where things might lead to next. At the time of writing, PewDiePie is holding a 1.4 million subscriber lead over T-Series with over 77 million subscribers and is on track to be the first YouTuber to hit 80 million in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
