Well, my first account is compromised I guess, because I forgot the PW. And nothing of value was lost.

You're wiling to throw away the novelty and prestige that comes with having an @animalfeitshporn.us or @gamergate.us email? Mad is what you are!

On a scale of 1 to domestic terrorist, how hard is it to accomplish what this "mysterious group" has done?

I would say something like a 7/10 technically. Someone with just a script-kiddie guide wouldn't be able to do it but it's not exactly A or B-grade hacking either. Also they didn't compromise the entire server or database so certainly not a 8 or higher.

As Null said, this only was a thing because he added some debug output to one of the views and forgot to remove it afterwards (derp) so really, in a sense he hax0red himself, all the hackers did was stumble across a map to the treasure just laying around while scouting the perimeter - which is all they could've done otherwise.

The scouting itself is something that anyone can do (again as Null already pointed out) with the help of an easy to find, easy to download, easy to run exploitation framework. What they had to do after that to put the leaked information to good use is not clear to me since I just skimmed through this thread - but since they already had the compromised information at hand, it couldn't be all that hard to do either.

Anyway, this doesn't mean whoever is behind this is a good hacker. Again, as already has been pointed out, they could have hired someone to do it for them - or leveraged someone on the Internet against us by pretending we're bad bad people who deserve it.

EDIT: Null's transparency report puts Sony and other big names to shame. Definitely hiring the impending Lolcow.it hosting service for my next shitsite :lol:

/baph/ would do it for shit and giggles if they felt so inclined, but that's not a /baph/ "we did a thing" statement.

My guess is a certain someone paid for this. They got ripped off, if that's the case - and it's going to frustrate the hell out of them that they can't threaten legal action about the person who failed to deliver.

The person you're referring to seems to default to the path of least resistance, so I suspect you're correct that he paid for it. He could, and I emphasize could have stumbled on a guide on how to install Kali Linux and use its tools to run the scan and so on, but that seems like too much work for him. Most likely he found someone on the darknet who claimed to be a hacker and paid them with bitcoin, as was suggested before. Like you said, he got ripped off. And I'm quite certain he tried to threaten them when they didn't deliver the goods, but he probably has no idea who they really are, and can't do shit.

Another possibility is that some "tech" people who also hate us are involved, but I would have hoped they're a bit more competent.

What I really, really love is that Vordrak is so utterly convinced of his own cleverness that he can't see the glaring flaws in his strategy. He really is like the cartoon villain whose plots get foiled every time. That he talks like a cartoon villain as well is just a bonus.

He's actually one of those idiots who's so stupid he thinks he's smart. The only reason he hasn't run into legal trouble for his actions is that most of his targets have been in other countries and his victims lack the resources to retaliate. I guarantee you that if he pisses off someone of means, he'll get stomped flat.
