Hackers appear to have apparently infiltrated and defaced several NBC Web sites, including the page for “Saturday Night Live.” The page’s usual content was replaced with a message that the site had been hacked by “pyknik” and scrolling text with the nursery rhyme “Remember, Remember The Fifth of November Gunpowder and Treason Plot.” The message also indicated that “user info” and “passwords” had been exposed, but it was unclear where this information was allegedly taken from. The nursery rhyme is about a conspiracy to blow up the English Parliament in 1605.
