A site geared toward collecting anonymously sourced information about the phone hacking scandal surrounding Australian magnate Rupert Murdoch's media empire, News Corp., has appeared online. Thus far, Murdoch Leaks, as the site is titled, only has submission information displayed.

"With the recent phone hacking scandal surrounding Rupert Murdoch's News of the World and other aspects of his empire, it's become evident that the fourth estate has failed so it's time to invoke the fifth estate. And what is that? - It is You!" is written on the site, along with a Twitter link.

TechCrunch was the first site to notice the mysterious website's appearance, and theorized that it was another product of the LulzSec/Anonymous hacking collective. After all, a hacker associated with the group claims to have 4GB of incriminating emails from within Murdoch's news properties.

However, MurdochLeaks tweeted that "we have no boat," disassociating itself with LulzSec, which often portrays itself like sailors on a boat, traversing the internet, and sometimes refers to itself as "lulzboat."

3. Maybe, but if it's done the way Wikileaks is, they

apparently can remain anonymous. Still, I would not put it past the Murdoch criminal organization to try to find those who might spill even more damning secrets.

Remember that Julian Assange has said that Wikileaks has devastating informaion on the Murdoch Empire but is using is as 'insurance'. Iow, to keep himself alive. It will be released across the internet if anything happens to him, 'unless someone else reveals it first' he said.

I don't think the hacking scandal is what he is talking about. It has to something much worse than that or he would not think it was enough to keep him alive.
