FBI Hack news on Hackernews is Fake

The news (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4677527) currently on top in HN is a fake one. It was an old FBI hack by CyberZeist that happened in June 2012. Here's the real news url:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/CyberZeist-Claims-to-Have-Gained-Access-to-Hundreds-of-Federal-Accounts-276384.shtml

And here's the original url of the hack details:

It seems someone simply copy-pasted the old stuff to make it look like a new hack by THA, (or may be they themselves did it for publicity?).

EDIT: Good news, the fake post is dead now. FTR http://pastebin.com/BjZMZV63
