This just in… FoxInni haXors FaceBook, steals their secret sauce and shares it freely with the WordPress world

According to a police spokesperson, a South African hacker web designer, known in web underground circles as Foxinni, broke into FaceBook around midnight last night and proceeded to empty out their CSS, PHP, HTML, Javascript and other assorted AJAX scripts. He then proceeded to publish his ill-gotten gains to the world by releasing a FaceBook look-a-like WordPress theme, flouting authorities’ attempts to apprehend him.

Foxinni is considered armed (with PHP) and dangerous. Members of the public who spot him are warned not to approach him, but rather to run away screaming.

Cape Town news became aware of this story late Tuesday evening when well meaning fellow South African WorPress designer / rockstar Adii alerted South Africans to this new threat to WordPress peace in this disturbing blog entry. An English vigilante blogger who attempted to bring Foxinni to heel was quickly neutralised and persuaded to join Foxy’s nefarious cause.

Indeed it is rumoured that even just one look at this new theme, sucks people into Foxinni’s nefarious underground world of WordPress skullduggery.

Fortunately for me, I’m impervious to such scum as these. I mean, of course, I looked at the new theme, but it had absolutely no effect on me. Well, I did make a comment (or two) on Foxinni’s blog of savagery, but I think I got away with it.

You may not be as lucky or as strong-willed as I am. So, be warned – stay at home and watch TV, because outside in the streets, rabid Foxinnis roam, giving away free WordPress themes.
