According to TechCrunch, A hacker successfully hacked Time Magazine’s online poll, and they didn’t do anything about it. Apparently Christopher Poole, aka Moot, the founder of the 4Chan online forum, whose members used some coding to get his name to the top of the list. Not only did they help moot win the poll, but they also arranged the next 20 names to spell out “Marblecake, also the game.” Marblecake is a lewd sexual reference, but is also supposedly the name of the chat room where one of 4Chan’s online collective actions, Project Chanology, originated. here’s a screenshot from techCrunch.

According to Time Magazine, This is just the “people’s choice” list, not the official list picked by Time’s editors, It seems they know what happen and just didn’t do anything about it, probably think it’s harmless, but if this can happen, How credible would be it’s “people choice lists” if it can be manipulated.
