'Scrubs' star Zach Braff's website hacked

Hackers broke into the website of actor-director and comedy series "Scrubs" star Zachary Israel "Zach" Braff, leaving behind a bogus update where he supposedly admitted he was gay. Braff mentioned the incident on his Facebook account Tuesday night (Manila time), where he tried to make light of the situation. "My old website got hacked. Someone issued a "coming out" statement on my behalf. I'm still straight and in love with my girlfriend. But not too straight; I still love musicals, brunch and Doogie Howser," he said. A check on his website www.zachbraff.com showed a splash screen promoting a series of theater plays. Computer security firm Sophos reported that the hackers allegedly added the following statement to the site: "To all my loyal fans, I have been hiding this secret inside me for too long...I am excited and proud to announce that I am an open member of the homosexual community. This is not news to those closest to me, and I honor that they have kept it a secret for such a long time." Sophos also quoted Braff's publicist as saying the website was old and had not been updated since 2006. "The news must have come as a surprise to Taylor Bagley, the actor's girlfriend," Sophos said. — TJD, GMA News
