Crimes, Hoaxes and Bad Behavior on Social Media.

Dumb criminals are dumb.
When you’re pondering doing dumb things, even the cloud is not safe.

Hackers. Hackers. Hackers.

- Or is it a hoax?
In a remote controlled world, “almost everything around you” is hackable, say the experts.
Oh, the irony.
Gamer-land.

The latest in a series of online pranks on the Egyptian President, this online game has gone viral.
