Imagine if this ridiculous policy on their website is actually the result of a malicious hacking.
Then the hacker sends pagesix.com an anonymous tip about the policy.
Then the hacker posts the pagesix.com article on HN.
Now, that would actually make a good story...
[EDIT: Typo & Grammar]
- Someone1234 12y agoThis policy is in the same tone as other policies found on their web-site (e.g. cancellation policy). So I suspect it was written by the same individual and potentially at the same time. Interesting theory though. Reminds me of the Amy's Baking Company "hacking" of their Facebook page.
- wubbfindel 12y agoYeah I saw the cancellation policy too. Crazy. Interesting, I hadn't heard of the Amy's bakery thing...
- davidcbc 12y agoJudging from this Yelp review from 2013 I don't think that is the case: http://www.yelp.com/biz/union-street-guest-house-hudson?hrid=_p-R59VY-c19Nmxt4r9X9w http://www.yelp.com/biz/union-street-guest-house-hudson?hrid... Seems like they sent harassing emails to people who leave bad reviews letting them know they are going to charge the wedding host
- wubbfindel 12y agoAgreed, I wasn't suggesting a serious theory, just that it would be an impressive social hack that could be pulled off. I think a lot of these "Internet Vigilantes" would probably fall for it.
