Hoffing – The New Trend In Defacement

Everybody loves David Hasselhoff. And why not? His singing ability notwithstanding (which I’ve never heard so I can’t comment on), most of us have seen and/or enjoyed Knight Rider, Baywatch, and (more recently) the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

Interestingly, there’s a new trend among the hacker crowd: surreptitious injection of David Hasselhoff-laced content into otherwise “normal” messages such as websites, informational mailings, etc.

Personally, I love this. So also do folks over at “The Age” in Australia – they’ve reported several Hoff sightings or “hoffings” as it’s been called and they’ve even gone so far as to ask him about it. Surprisingly, he was pretty good natured about it and actually viewed it as a compliment; go David.
