Sometimes you have to ask why ?

[Doyae Darkstar]

Why did this hacker attack the Ezboard site ?
Why did He/She do this ?

Did this hacker even think about those they were hurting ?

I tell you its things like this which make me wonder, why Hackers tend to do these things. Make virus or ruin sites that people work on.

It was someone who either works for or used to work for ezboard. In this case it must have been personal.

[Doyae Darkstar]

one heck of a grudge of he/she had to make everyone suffer.

It's dangerous to fire IT guys. See Jurassic Park.

Hopefully ezboard learned a valuable lesson about keeping backups physically separate from the main system instead of accessible via remote login.

Meh, when you're out for revenge, you don't really care who you affect, just that you make your mark against what you're going against. Revenge is revenge, no matter what you do to attain it.

They should post the address of the attacker. That would teach him to go for revenge on the costs of innocent people.
