To be honest, as dirty as politics is, I’m surprised there hasn’t been more of this type of activity.

The FBI confirmed Monday it is investigating whether hackers disrupted a live webcast on Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign Web site last week during a re-election announcement.
“The FBI confirms that it is conducting a preliminary inquiry into the possibility that an intentional intrusion was conducted on the governor’s computer from out of state,” said Erik Vasys, a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio. “The FBI considers this a hacking event with unknown origin at this time.”
The webcast was to have been streamed from a closed event at the San Antonio headquarters of Holt Caterpillar last Tuesday.
