A hacker group called Gnosis took over Gawker Media this morning after a hacker group took over the site. Gnosis thought Gawker was picking on 4chan, the group of digital delinquents that spawned Anonymous. The group also broke into the site’s database, gaining access to email addresses and passwords for all of Gawker’s staffers and more than 1 million readers.
