I saw Michael Phelps page and it was hacked by some uber nerd named' The Zodiac' in reference to the zodiac killer...Anyone know much about this at all?


Kinda lame and creepy if you ask me.

Well, I believe everything I see in movies, especially when they're directed by David Fincher.

More importantly can that even be considered hacking? I would say no, that's merely editing.

Eh, it was based off a book. It wasn't pure conjecture by the director.

And I think that it's pretty clear it's not the Zodiac killer anyway... Those murders would make the killer a minimum of 60+ years old. It's well known that the elderly are too dumb to use the interwebs.

It's not really hacking if you edit a wikipedia page that can be edited by anyone, this is why wiki sucks as an academic source.
