NT4/IIS, what a surprise.
The admins really should considder securing it, its exposed to anyone right now.
Map it as a webfolder and you can be a hacker as well :)

I still see it..... That is too funny.

I am shocked at how long it has stayed up... At least they could take it down to a blank screen until they get their site back up.

Seems to be down now. I can't get in. :( Just get this message:

Failed to connect

The host 12.9.224.53 could not be contacted. If this persists, you should contact the administrator of the remote site.

How do you let something stay down for 12 hours+? The page is no longer there but the site is still down, I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error. Someone really ought to inquire about that Admin job, it will definitely be open soon.

For those who missed the excitement, I took a screenshot when it was up and you can see it here.

Ndee: How hard would it to be to sign up on a free ISP these days using fake info and get free internet access? Sure they could find the ISP / router, but unless the ISP kept track of all the phone numbers that dials it they wouldn't know. Also they would have to dig through a lot of crap to find the guy.

It'd be really funny if it turned out to be a chick who hacked memorex. Y'know, defeating stereotypes type of thing.

Oh yeah, one last thing. I hope you noticed the text at the very bottom of the screenshot. Apparently the hacker isn't educated to the point where he doesn't know the difference between &quot;your&quot; and &quot;you're&quot;. Sheesh, I'm ashamed it requires someone of that that low level of intelligence to do something like that.

good point AncientPC, I didn't even notice that. i guess this person spent too much time on a computer to care about learning corect engish.
