Nothing wrong with hacking. This is cracking. Cracking is bad.

Kinda serves them right though. From what I gather the fix for the latest exploit has been out for a while.

Sorry my bad. I never did understand why someone who hacks is called a cracker, and someone who cracks is called a hacker.

Don't worry Jay, I have several friends helping me restore the site.

I really do need both Shab and his friend online at the moment though.

Oh and once again Radix, you're spot on, it's all my fault. Everyone blame me!

Fucktards are a kind of unstoppable elemental force. You can't rely on their sense of decency, you have to keep on top of the situation. So yeah, it can be your fault if you like.

Radix is right (if you doubted it), that fix has been out for a while. People rarely update stuff, though, that much is understandable.

AT: Hackers and crackers are blurred definitions. They're both to do with getting past security measures (in the computer context, crackers originated from disabling copy protection or exploring computer code generally) but there are professional hackers which have permission to find vulnerabilities.

"Fucktards are a kind of unstoppable elemental force"

I feel like these words should be carved in to a plaque and placed somewhere prominent.

I have backups of both the site and databases but i'll only fully remove and restore as a last resort as there very well may be an easier way to sorting the problem.

I just wish Shab and his friend were online.

Re cracking/hacking:
Hacking just means spending ages hacking away at your keyboard trying to get something to work. You can hack out a story, or a program, or a school assignment, or whatever. It's a pretty generic term that comes from the guys who ran the "rat's nest," a huge tangle of cables that ran a complicated model train display somewhere. Apparently they used to spend ages hacking away at the cables trying to get something to work.

Cracking means figuring out someone else's work when they don't want to. It comes from "cracking a code." You can crack someone else's program to get it to do something different, or crack the security on a remote system. It's generally bad. All crackers are hackers, but few hackers are crackers.
