This effect should have a name- it would kill me if someone called it the Girlfriend Effect. A) Hack (that fakes A). B) As media cries foul, the media causes A to happen. C) Echo chamber as bloggers find out the real story, which adds to A (not necessary, this just adds to the effect). It's not the Streisand Effect because there is no attempt to ban, it's that the media exposure causes the hoax to become real. So, I'm sure there is a ghost story/supernatural/Greek myth parallel somewhere.
