Wired.com has been the latest victim of a fake story about Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ health.
A hoaxer created a page, which looked like part of Wired.com, featuring a report about Jobs having a heart attack.
“In this instance the hoaxer went to the considerable trouble of creating an image of a three-paragraph story, with such affirming attributes as my aforementioned byline, current time stamp, some excellent (genuine) related stories and the social bookmarking icons at the bottom — including an (unfortunately hoax) 201 Diggs,” writes the falsely bylined John Abell.
Interestingly enough, Abell learnt about the hoax through Twitter.
