Nothing particularly interesting seems to have actually happened. Some posts got onto the Dashboard, which was still running. In fact, everything was still working just fine.
Script kiddies found a small crack and went for it.
- shortformblog 14y agoMy entire dashboard was filled with these worm posts an hour ago, and hit a number of major sites.
- lysol 14y agoIt's not really a script kiddie if it's an original exploit, and is still a vulnerability that has cost businesses money.
- j2labs 14y agoWhat is your source for that info? Also, whether or not it cost the business money has nothing to do with the quality of the break-in.
- freehunter 14y agoWho cares about the quality or the skill it took? If it's an unskilled attack, it's even worse. If script kiddies can break into your site, your security is alarmingly poor. The things that matter during an attack: how much damage was caused, what kind of data was compromised, and how much it will cost to get things fixed. The quality of the attack is only a factor when it comes to cost/benefit of fixing the vulnerability.
- j2labs 14y agoMy first comment actually addresses each of your points.
- elcapo 14y ago"Script-kiddies" don't author exploits, or discover vulnerabilities.
