4chan's /b/ board, the tasty bowels of the interwebs, are claiming credit for this morning's Twitter account hackings of two of the most importance forces in the universe: Britney Spears and Fox News.

Fun!

Sir Owen Thomas has more on the technical aspects of how hilarity unfolded (phishing, test tubes, dry ice, etc.), but if you know of any other notable Twitter accounts that get hacked, do send them Vallwywag's way.

Yeah, but you have to admit, that Oprah troll was effin hysterical.
