Broke through their top of the line security?
Not really most sites can be hacked without much hassle, theres a famous Internet rapper named YTCracker who hacked Nasa's site and defaced it all in under an hour.
It is unlikely this is a hoax though, as there wouldn't be any point of BBC took it down right after it was posted.

Nu-uh, NOS says between December 15 and 30.
NBC sites OK again after hacking
Several NBC websites were hacked Sunday by a person or group calling itself "pyknic"and suggesting a possible link to the cyber-attack group Anonymous.
It appeared that the defacement of the affected sub-sites was cleaned up in a couple hours. NBC and its various websites appeared to be functioning normally as of Sunday evening. However, older versions maintained by search engines such as Google or Bing still bore the message "hacked by pyknic."
The message said: "Remember, remember the fifth of November." That reference suggested a link to Anonymous, a movement of cyber rebels.

Anon isnt a group, it's just a collective name for people who group together for whatever reason.

If it were that simple why hasn't Anon been hacking the MSM in droves?
Why haven't they taken over their news sites and posted real news or exposed the criminal establishment and their plots?

Again its not a group, anyone can start a raid, it all depends on what the raid is and how many people join in, but there is no leader and no structure, everything is done over tinychat rooms and on /b/.
im guessing you saw that documentary about Anon?
none of this has to do with the topic on hand though, I think this is all a hoax..so guess we're just gonna have to wait till dec to see planet x ourselvesedit on 5-11-2012 by SolarIce because: (no reason given)
