Title: who was here when the hack occurred?
Post by: USA4ME on November 22, 2016, 09:36:02 PM
Some testimonials from the primitives and their reactions to the site on election night.

Good read. Bring some over for others. I'm combing the site for interesting threads.

dumbasses STILL haven't figured out that it was an inside job. skimmer knows it, took him a week, but they found it finally. I wish I knew who it was so I could paypal him a few bucks for the effort, it was pretty epic. hehe
I just wonder how long it was sitting there, just waiting to go off...

"God Emperor" was almost certain an asshole named $kinner  :wink:

  No way in hell was it hacked, the timing was just too perfect. Right as Madame Cankles began her election night stutter, they yanked it. I'd bet some serious money on that.

 DUmmy wants a medal for seeing scary pictures on his computer screen.

8. There should be "campaign medals/ribbons" for DU historical events

"In the military sciences, the term military campaign applies to large scale, long duration, significant military strategy plan "incorporating a series of inter-related military operations or battles forming a distinct part of a larger conflict often called a war.
"Military campaign - Wikipedia
" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_campaign "

This one could be named something like "Operation Drumpf Attack" and all of you deserve the medal!1

The only problem with the inside job scenario is that you'd have to have a brain running the operation.  I don't think broccoli head Elad is up to the task, nor is Earl.

 Well, I'd agree if Egads were tasked with actually doing a real hack, but all they had to do in this case is make it look like it was hacked for a brief period and then pull the plug. Prolly simple enough for a monkey to do if you have the levers of the website.

This is true.  For all we know, Skins and his two stooges have been getting blasted on a bowl every night for the last two weeks.

30. I was
 
Came back a few times to the same shit before it was finally shut down. The night dragged on and turned into one of the worst nights of my 69 years on this earth -- DU down and Donald F***ing Trump elected.

Tough shit, to have lived that long and Skins's island sinking was one of the most momentous [thanks to the locust primitive] moments of one's life?

What hacker would want to deprive the sane world of (D)Ummie outrage by hacking DU on election night?

I think someone in camp Stumpy knew what was coming based on internal polling and skins found out through the grapevine, and concocted something quick and pulled the plug after a few minutes. He wouldn't want certain sentiments expressed by DUers being associated with his cash cow after all, especially if he knew that a drastic reduction in family income was coming very soon. And then, after the worst of the online pooo flinging rioting and death threats were done being issued elsewhere and the anger subsided to his satisfaction, he fired it back up in donor form - never let a good crisis go to waste, right?

Obviously, my thoughts on this are pure speculation, but I'm near convinced this was an inside job, planted by someone who is long gone from DU... someone he trusted in the past. My first inclination would be thinking it was someone who bailed for the jackass site. I don't know the dynamics of the breakup or who was around in the past with that sort of access. I've read the DUmp for years, but never paid close attention to the inner workings and the players involved there, I just liked to laugh at the idiots... rarely even paying attention to poser names.
And I'm saying this because it happened, then skimmer restored the site a couple of times only to have the code instantly execute AGAIN. And I mean instantly. I seriously doubt someone was sitting around hammering the site waiting for it to come back so he/she could do the same thing over and over. Na, it was either skimmer himself, or more likely, someone from the past who just wanted to darken his doorway one last time.
This even happens from time to time in professional IT environments and they are really hard to locate or detect.
