This is not a hack, it is spam. There is a ‘Start a New Topic” button right in the graphic that the article provides. Any member can start a new topic.

So sure, someone can register for BlackPlanet.com and post spam in forums. That is quite possible, That has nothing to do with member information being compromised. It is annoying, but it is not a serious security threat.

@Orinthea Smith -- BP is still very much a major player and it Black Voices, and BET are still the top trafficked "African-American" sites. What makes BP even more relevant, as of late, is that it was purchased by Radio One/Interactive One and bundled into its overall Web strategy.

I did not realize BP was still on the map as a site to be hacked..lol They should just check and reload the site so it will not no continue to occur. My only concern would be is that BP did not release an official statement acknowledging there is a problem which will only make them more vulnerable to further attacks but I guess they don’t want to satisfy the originator ego.

No, that’s definitely a hack. Black Planet users don’t have the ability to post forum topics like these guys did. Only BP administrators can. Users can only click on a topic and enter their opinion within the forum, not actually create one.

I wouldn’t say it was “hacked” per say. This is just one idiot spamming the forum. It won’t be the first and definitely won’t be the last time it happens.
