what a despicable thing to do, not to mention criminal. Defacing a website can and does cause websites to lose income/customers. I hope they catch the punks and throw the book at them. Most likely though they are out of the USA.
 
pyr is right. Crackers are who do stupid stuff like this. But even they play a big rule in tech. If it weren't for people testing the security systems, the systems would be very weak. This would allow any person with half a brain to do what they wished.

BTW: I also go with PCResources saying that ASUS should've had better security.
 
Man hackers must love asus's site hehe... cause I remember about a year and half ago their site was hacked then also.
 


<< Pulp Fiction >>



And the winner iiiiissss (drumroll please) BEN!

That's right, Pulp Fiction.

PCResources, vandalism is vandalism, no matter how easy or hard whatever they did(I didnt see this thread in good enough time to get a look-see) is.

People who hack into systems for the pure purpose of education, they have some respect in my book, but people who do this $hit, they're no better than kids keying cars or vandalizing trains.

And for that matter if you think it is, then you're no better than those kids either IMO.
 
Yeah but it's diffrent with the Internet. You can't compare it to in-life(Or whatever) things, like having your house robbed.

On the internet, there are ways to prevent such things. I guess there are for houses, too. The point is that it could have been prevented, so it's Asus' fault that they were vulnerable to it, I guess.


Site's still down for me, heh.
 
Sunner, what do you think about people who use and copies illegaly produced CD's?

I'd say it's much worse, you are actually stealing here.
