Hacking attempt on Needless Productions
August 23, 2007 |
So somebody tried to hack Needless Productions today. I had just finished validating all the markup in the theme too. It isn’t quite clear to me just how they got in at this point. But the theme was the only thing they managed to mess with. The database was left completely unharmed.
Yup. They even let a calling card. I don’t see the point of this at all. Fuck you system? I’ve never been referred to as part of the system before. I know attack was proably random and uncalculated, but, in its’ own way, this is kind of flattering.
To be honest I wasn’t all that upset when I first logged on and saw the alerts. Something about the whole things immediately screamed “minor damage”. The whole thing just seems really amateur. I don’t really know about hacking but it was pretty easy to recover from the attack. No problem really. At least it gave me an excuse to post at 1:30 in the morning.
In case any of you spambots out there can’t read that, the email is resnado@casus-team.org

Very strange. I don’t see the point in targetting you. I remember CSS Remix was done a while back.
If they were going to put their talents to good use and really ‘fuck the system’ - if thats what they ment - I can think of better sites to target.
Sorry about pipping you at the post on Connor Wilson and well done on validating your code. Most blogs I see are riddled with 10s or ever 100s of warnings.
