The PBS website was infiltrated by a group of hackers, which complained about a news program report, on Saturday evening. The hackers posted a fake story, which alleged that late Tupac Shakur was alive in New Zealand.

On Monday, PBS officials confirmed that the website had indeed been hacked. The attackers posted the false Tupac story on the site of the WETA-TV produced “PBS NewsHour” program.

It says American rapper and actor Tupac Shukar, who was shot four times and killed in the metropolitan area of Las Vegas, Nevada in 1996, was still living in a small resort in New Zealand. The story had been removed on the site as of Monday morning.

In an email, the PBS’ vice president of corporate communications, Anne Bentley said that the incorrect information posted on the PBS website has already been corrected.

She also said that the hackers released usernames and mixed-up passwords for the website’s users and administrators. Login information and passwords in plain-text were also posted for the network’s affiliate television stations. However, the affected parties were subsequently notified, Bentley said.

A group, which called itself “The Lulz Boat” and LulzSec, claimed responsibility on the attack on a post in Twitter. They also posted links to other attacks, which include a video seemingly mocking the broadcasting network.

The group said they hacked the PBS website in retribution to a recent “Frontline” edition, a PBS show that recently covered WikiLeaks. A message said the group was not impressed when they saw the ‘WikiSecrets’ report.

“Frontline” executive producer David Fanning said he had learned of the attack early Monday. He said an attack to the PBS website over a particular news program was atypical, but probably expected.

Sensational pop singer Justin Bieber had the chance to visit one of his wax figures on Tuesday at Madame Tussauds museum located in London.

Bieber took a short break from his world tour just to stand beside a wax model of himself. His wax double is dressed in a red and black plaid shirt matched with a pair of black jeans.

The replica is just one of the three Bieber wax figures currently being revealed in public. The other waxworks can be found in Madame Tussauds branches in New York and Amsterdam.

The 17-year-old singer said it is pretty unbelievable to see the waxwork. He also joked on how small the replica was, saying he is definitely six inches taller than the guy beside him.

The wax statue, which was based on the real Bieber eight months ago, appears smaller than the real Bieber today. This is because the real Bieber is expected to change and grow rapidly throughout the eight months it took them to make the wax model, said Liz Edwards, spokeswoman for the Tussauds museum.

However, Edwards said everyone is paying particular attention to his hair. She said it was the wax model’s hair that was the biggest challenge when it was created.

Bieber is now one of the biggest pop stars in the world. His albums include “My World,” as well as “My World 2.0.” The pop singer, who was accompanied by his mother, was welcomed by a few fans at the event.

The singer said he would preferably want his wax figure to be positioned close to Tupac Shakur, an American rapper.

Bieber has still two concerts to perform in London before he will go on tour to several other cities in Britain. After that, he will be heading to mainland Europe.
