Techcrunch hacked again

#1

Post by vaksel »

here is the message it shows:

So Arrington, how much did all the media coverage yesterday brought you in trough the welcome.html ad you forced people to? What a fucking retarded move was that you twat. You should be thanking me and sucking on my fucking ballsack for not deleting everyone on the box and publishing the mysql, if that's what you want O.K, I can do that. Also, you fucking dickwads from sites like Yahoo!, BBC and plenty more, where the FUCK do you see adult content on http://dupedb.com/ ???????? I mean honestly, are you fucktards also in just for the money?!?!?!

You do have to hand it to Arrington to run an interstitial welcome.html ad on there today based on the volume of traffic coming in to check out the hacking story . . .

That ad was planned before we were hacked, the timing was a total coincidence.

Michael is out in Davos, Switzerland right now — he isn't masterminding an opportunistic ad campaign.

Dang, on purpose would have been more fun.

Well since your submission is getting the upvotes... I went ahead and took a screen cap: http://imgur.com/koIso

Thats weird. I could have sworn there was a green 'share this' icon/link right below the hackers text. I was going to say maybe thats the source of the vulnerability.. its not in your screen cap though.
