Tell the midwives to stop wailing, it ain't that bad

Teenage Muslim terrorists whacked SecurityCritics.org with an attack that started in the early evening of 2 Sep and completed on 3 Sep.

I could follow the lead of Apache.org, offering a detailed post mortem of the event … but I see no need to do it here. Suffice to say, it involved a WordPress theme file hack followed by a SQL injection. You can study any number of recent WordPress hacks to understand what happened here.

I imagine one of the defacement archives archived it for posterity. It’ll join at least two previous defacements I’ve taken over the years. They’re all historically significant events, you know.

The miscreant(s) claim they defacedterrorized SecurityCritics.org in the name of Allah. Yeah, yeah, that struck fear in my heart.

Reader “xEOD Guy” (not his real name) emailed me when he noticed the hack. I didn’t read his email until 5 Sep. I replied “thanks! I’ll notify the world leaders to the global plight it entails. :-) Then I’ll blog about it. I don’t know how many thousands of citizens died, but I’ll be sure to blame the Muslims for this cyber-genocide.”

“xEOD Guy” (not his real name) himself fears the weapons of Islam who pulled off this terrorizing event. He replied:

Oh, the humanity! There was a gazillion avatars littering the cyber-landscape. I wanted to look away, but was strangely drawn to the scene, like a swallow to Capistrano. It was horrible. You’re right to blame the Muslims…I heard them talking and giggling like little school girls about the carnage, and one of them was muttering about Allah and the infidels.

I don’t mind you crediting me as a witness to this unspeakable cybergeddon at all, but please, please please … don’t give those fiends my IP or e-mail address. I don’t want one sending me a dirty mail bomb via a Chernobyl packet. Or maybe sending my processor into an nth complexity infinite binary loop (I read about that one in an e-mail I just got yesterday … something about a message with the heading “Goodtimes”).

I’m off to see my therapist. After all the time I spent in Africa and the middle East, this senseless slaughter has truly broken my psyche and I’ve got a serious case of PTSD.

Well said, dude. “Until next time…”
