RIAA website under attack (12/30)
http://www.riaa.org/



UPDATE:
It seems that the guy who was responsible from the infamous "Attack of the finns"
in Apolyton is the same guy who is behind this...

I just went to the RIAA main page, and there was that giant open anus again. Thats the second time I have had to view that by clicking on a link in 'poly.

With all the hate they generate, it's not surprising.

A single simple security upgrade would fix this problem, but I'll bet tomorrow they'll be *****ing about h4x0rZ breaking into their network.

True. Which is one of the things that also makes me angry at the losers that are haxoring them...

The correct thing to do would be to educate people about what's wrong with the RIAA, why it's wrong, and, relevant to my post and your reply, why the RIAA basically allowed anyone to do this with a few guesses at some important webpage URLs.

The incorrect thing to do is to use this knowledge to fill their news page with trash.

Guess which thing the h4x0rZ are doing?

I don't know anyone who feels sympathy for the RIAA.
Even after hearing that they have been hacked, most people's reactions would be "Well what did they expect?", laugh at the RIAA and then move on.

I don't have any sympathy for the RIAA. But nor do I for the h4x0rZ who are doing it until they learn how to be intelligent.

They're only ruining the reputation of hackers who only hack to learn, and not to damage/destroy.

Just like I said in the IRC chat for those of you who were there

They are not hackers. They are angry anklebiters.

May, or maynot.

Perhaps their sysadmin is against them too.
