New York Times Hacked? 103
First time accepted submitter porsche911 writes "It looks like the NYTimes have been hacked and a large number of subscribers spammed with messages about cancellation of their service. The phone system is overwhelmed as well. The Times is currently saying the email is a fake, but that raises other worries. They were one of the only 3rd parties that had the email in question so it appears either someone really screwed up or they've suffered a data breach."

Well, they tried hacking the The New Yorker first (Score:5, Funny)
But then they found out that New Yorker readers were far too smug to lower themselves to reading email.

I was happy I was unsubscribed, as I have never signed up for anything New York times related ever. So that information that I was unsubscribed had me thanking God.
Sadly, it now appears to be a hoax. I am now crushed in despair.
