Fucking hackers
Most of them aren't even people. They're automated bots and scripts run by scriptkiddies that don't know the first fucking thing about hacking. They're just using tools they bought or pirated from other people. Fucking scriptkiddies.
If they were real hackers, they'd not leave fucking evidence behind.
I used to misbehave online, a lot. I am not going to admit to this kind of felony, but the FBI's website used to get defaced frequently. They'd fix it, secure it again, and a few weeks later someone would find an exploit and the site's homepage would turn into anything from porn to a crazy manifesto to cartoons lampooning the FBI. This went on for about a year before they finally managed to close it up better.
It still happens today, actually. Search for "FBI webpage defaced" and you'll find more examples. Back then, it was just for fun. These days, they're more malicious people. Like ISIS backers have defaced the site. Shit like that. Anonymous has taken it offline more than once.
Just for the lulz?
Long before 'lulz' was even a word. Long, long before...
I used to have a blue and black box. The blue box let me make free long distance calls. The black box was for if they caught me - and it would take down the entire telephone circuit.
We were 'phreakers'.
