well this sucks.
but i feel the hack was done today instead of tomorrow to let them know the hackers displeasure on something.
but not to really hit them when it matters... (which is tomorrow for apple presentations )
maybe its just a warning perhaps.
I am sure techcrunch is working on this...
wordpress systems are pretty stable but all systems have a loophole.. on many systems, you can't avoid the hacking because it is the human errors (or negligence)
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoApple event is Wednesday, not tomorrow.
- J_McQuade 17y agoI always let out a disappointed sigh when I have to remind people of things like this, but tomorrow is Wednesday for a lot of the world.
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoYes, I'm aware of that. However, it's not for any of the relevant parties in this story (TC, HN, Apple), and the Apple event is a fixed number of hours away, regardless of what time zone you're in, and that number of hours is sufficient that the event is not "tomorrow". Or I'm up way too late and not thinking clearly :)
- BrandonWasHere 17y agoMore likely it was an automated attack carried out by bots. I'm still putting my money on the recent rash of non-secure FTP exploits (client side).
- dangrossman 17y agoThis was no automated attack. The page was updated with a series of what could only be hand written messages as TC tried to overwrite what the hacker was uploading. At one point the whole page turned to "o_O".
