To be honest, they're really not a l33t hacking group...
Because we recently switched hosting companies, for some reason there was an "anonymous ftp" account that I believe they used to upload a simple index.htm file and the above image file.
I don't really see how that's "hacking" to be honest!
The most damage that "hacking" does is causes us to re-upload our files. Maybe it bruises our ego and reputation, but I highly doubt it.
Someone who knows GM (the person who did it) told us that they were using XSS (Cross-site Scripting). Either the people who did it don't know what XSS really is, or they were just trying to scare us. What they did was most certainly not XSS.
XSS consists of inserting code (usually javascript) into the already-made index page through security holes. All these guys did was put up a new index page - they didn't touch our index page at all. XSS is usually used to gain information from the visitors of the webpage. Our visitors don't generally input any information (other than email addresses and habbo names in our contact/job forms) that would be harmful if these "l33t hax0r5" gained it. So basically, from my standpoint, it was just a few teenagers trying to get a rise out of someone.
We do have their IPs, but I'm not sure we'll do anything about it. It's just kinda sad that people waste their time doing this...lol? Just goes to show that whoever did this is in fact immature and most likely bored.
I'm not really bothered by it. I've disabled the anonymous ftp accounts, so if they try to get in again, we'll have narrowed down one way they got in!
In any case, Namistai is back up and running and things are peachy. Mmm...peaches...
