they do it cuz they can... if you are a webmaster... one of the best things you can do is learn the basics of hacking... by doing this, you learn more security and what to do not to get hacked. a lot of time, they dont know who they are affecting, they just run port scanners on ip ranges and find the openings there.

Hackers are pricks. All of them, All these idiots that think these superhackers that cost companys billions in dammage are cool. They are far from it. Im sure if a hacker cost one of them billions of pounds worth of dammage they would have a different opinion.

I agree with you , everyone is a hacker in some way , if you look at someones password your a hacker, belive it or not every time you visit google your being hacked as it stores every search you do , with your i.p , so yeah they have your private info , hacking is not just hacking its a way of the internet and always will be there, being hacked is a very important lesson, i presume the hackers you had were lame as they got caught by defacing the site, these hackers are lame and stupid and like stealing .c code of clever guru's , could of been worst they could have access for months without you knowing. even the best hacker in the world kevin mitnick has just been hacked , its just a way of life these days , i guess normal people of society are ok , unless your searching for kiddie pron or you have govement material on your HDD,

I don't agree with this statement. Most famous hacker, yes, best hacker, no. I think that by definition, we will never know who the best hacker is. It's the same thing with spies, isn't the point of it all not to get caught?

I agree with the people that say every hacker is not bad. The people that hack and destroy shit on the server are pricks thats the bottom line, but true hackers that are in it for fun do it beacuse they can and they want to see what they can get away but when they get in, they don't destory anything, they leave it as is. I've read many things on hacking and a lot of tutorials posted a long time ago like over 8 years ago say to respect the property beacuse it's just for fun.

When you put it like this, I can see where your coming from. Destroying peoples work on a server is a tad immature. But if you get a buzz from doing it and don't destroy anything I can see the fun in it.
Also, how many of us honestly have 100% legit software on our computers. Very few I'd imagine, and I suppose this is down to other people providing hacks.

Hey ho. I'm just a bit deflated by it all to be honest. I'm cross with myself for leaving an opening on the server most of all.

We live and learn.
