E-Com-Con and Octium corporate sites hacked
In a bold move against one of the fastest growing companies in America, a rogue group of hackers has broken into the Octium and E-Com-Con sites in an apparent attempt to discredit the company's latest entry into the world of supercomputing.

Editors at the TvTome site, where the hack was announced, say they have no information on the group and that the mysterious message did not mention any affiliation with any particular group.

"There's no smoking gun here," said Patricia Griffin, show editor.

As of this hour, we've had no official comment from the E-com-con headquarters but understand from inside sources that they are investigating.
