What was up with the part with the facebook message? Why would the attacker tip him off rather than just take what he came for? Or did I read that wrong?

- Buge 13y agoMaybe the hacker was bragging about the hack and someone who heard that tipped him off.
- Zancarius 13y agoNever underestimate the enticing nature of boasting. I can think of more than a few would be anonymous attackers who were caught precisely because they wanted to brag about their achievements. I'm not really sure I understand the psychology behind it and whether it's a juvenile attempt to demonstrate relative power (e.g. "I did this to you, ergo I'm more powerful/smarter/whatever") or something else entirely.
