I’m sure if they deemed me a threat they’d attack me and win. I’m no threat, and I have nothing they would want, except a mind and a voice. They could be using their talents better than this. If they can’t think of a better way to use their skills, maybe they aren’t as smart as everyone thinks.

“In fact, the hacked information is often sold back to the company, they just don’t disclose they have been hacked.”

Hacking is not done anymore by technology enthusiasts, “for the lulz”. It’s a very lucrative business. And, so far, an easy one.

@kongroid

read again. They are saying they are not the only hackers in the world and that others simply don’t make the info the stole available.

Indeed, I’ve recently seen a lecture from a security expert, and he said that these information are very valuable. In fact, the hacked information is often sold back to the company, they just don’t .

Most often than not, the information is stolen from inside the company, usually by an unhappy employee with easy access.

But, most companies are extremely vulnerable to sql injection, or session highjacking (look up for Firesheep, for instance), which are the most common attacks available.

Here’s a question to go along with their bull**** reasoning: What if they didn’t hack the brink site in the first place? I doubt any other hacker would bother with it.

And their attacks should (hopefully) make things more secure for all of us in the future.
