Heh: Cross Vowel Substitution Attack (CSVA) Impacts McCrory Gubernatorial Bid
From Threat Level:
Charlotte, North Carolina, mayor Pat McCrory announced his candidacy for state governor yesterday in a press release e-mailed by his campaign. The letterhead graphic in the announcement featured a significant typo.
A typo by a harried Photoshop wage slave? You’d think. But when a reporter asked McCrory’s staff about it, they revealed that an evil hacker had broken into their computers and inserted the misspelling to sabotage the campaign.
