I'm not sure about them being "Russian" hackers, I thought it was common for all hackers to use proxies in places like Russia?

China, the U.S., Germany and Russia, the 'script kiddies' could be anywhere but follow the money.

Twelve, all of your AAC posts are some sort of cash stream? I thought you were donating your time.

You have lost me. I am so not a hacker type that I had to read the wiki to find out what an "injection hack" is.

 

Mine puts me all the way up in Portland Maine--well over a hundred miles away, two hundred if you consider the driving distance.

P.S. In my part of the country, 100/200 miles is a very long way

This also depends on how many networks you are working to hide your isp....

I'd like to make a statement on the morals of this.

I have been walking into other peoples homes and businesses for over 40 years to repair their machines. If I even THOUGHT about taking something that was not mine, I would know what the inside of a jail looks like by now. I have a very acute sense of what is none of my business. It doesn't matter if there is a pile of hundred dollar bills on the kitchen counter or a sex device hanging from the ceiling. It's none of my business.

My mind doesn't understand why anyone would break into somebody else's site. Even if there is money there, it's not mine. End of discussion.

I understand that some people don't operate the way I do. There are also people that study how to stop those who encroach on places that are not theirs. I leave that area of expertise to those that choose to be involved in it.

If I wanted to have a website, I expect I would have to learn something about hackers and their methods. I don't stand a chance of catching up with the decades of dishonesty that have been developed, so I don't even try. The fact that my account at this site was targeted is probably a matter of convenience. It is merely the first active sign-in on the list, most of the time. Even if it was about me, I don't have anything to lose. Everything I have ever posted is already available to the general public, including stupid answers, wrong answers, etc. I don't see how a hacker could hurt me by breaking into this site.

 

Twelve,

i am in your same boat on ' everyone leave my crap alone and I leave everyone else's crap alone". My comment above was meant to indirectly ask NSASPOOK into explain where the money is on this site - and why you) if "Script Kiddies could be anywhere but follow the money".

NSASPOOK,
Is there money on this site for hackers (somehow) or is 'follow the money' a phrase that means something else?

 

This site is supported by one individual. There is some advertisement for individuals who choose not to register, but the moment you register it disappears. The owner makes the rules, we, the moderators, are chosen by him (literally) to enforce them.

If it ever becomes an issue I suspect there are enough fans for this site (myself being one) to pick up the slack.

Of course the 'money' comment was not directed at this site or anyone on this site. The cracked passwords are sent to servers run by criminal operations in places like Russia (->money) and cross checked with other similar names to generate possible rainbow and cracker databases to hack that persons other important accounts or social networks with important personal information. This information is traded for cash or street credit on the hacker black-hat network.

If you look at the "site's popularity" that is incentive enough for some "script kiddies" to exploit the site.

That is the same reason for so many attacks on the windows operating system.

You don't visit relatively unknown sites for data mining. There's no money in it.

But valid E-mail accounts may be worth something. And also passwords. I am quite sure many here use the same password for both this site and their E-mail account used to register here

And hence the money trail.

If you get a very low percentage from a mining operation, which site is going to more profitable for you ... the one with 100 users per day or the one with 10000 visitors per day?

Passwords? OMG! Must change Harry Potter website password immediately!

Ha ha. Joke's on them. I have a standard page of paper with my passwords printed on it, and they use up both sides of the page. I don't even trust "password managers". Only a piece of paper in my desk drawer is safe enough for me, and I'd lock that up if anybody but me lived here. Hack that, be-yatch.
