My forum got hacked

[LiTHiUM0XiD3]

consider it a compliment... an annoying one... but heh a compliment... your forum was popular enough for those dim witted script kiddies to attack

Script kiddies get on my nerves. They embody the three things I dislike terribly:
1. Bad Grammar.
2. Spamming.
3. A name that took no creativity to develop.

Turns out they weren't script kiddies but Palestinian based hackers who hack sites without compromising the server to prove "Palestinians are not terrorists". He is active on saudihack.com (caution malware site).

I wrote him a nice email suggesting someone with his skills and talents could do better things to help the Palestinian people and that most of us know who the real terrorists are and we don't think they are in Palestine.

Reminds me of a story one of my lecturers told...

Can't remember the exact systems being used, but apparently while at HP some students at a Uni managed to get access to a HUGE password file, we're talking 20 or so gigs. Unfortunately for them it was completely useless, and my professor was watching the network activity...managed to look up their system, found an e-mail, and dropped them a mail that said "You guys know that file is useless, right?"

Got a reply a few mins later. "Yeah, we know thanks, just wanted to see if we could..."

For the most part, I hate these guys. Yet every so often they make me crack a smile.
