^^Its not back to normal yet, I was just showing that the site is still there, but if u try and go home, or to kspec.com or http://kspec.com/index.php it is still the stupid owned, i hacked you site, look how kool i am page.

Personally i think it is retarded that people do this and it is useless and only for braggin rights. Now if kspec didn't use world pay, and had records of our credit card numbers or when we ordered something, i would be worried.
As for flaws in Microsoft, yes they do it for that, but i think this was an exploit in php using scripts...

people will hack anything they can get into. They dont really care what it is. Now REAL good hacker not script kiddies and the like will only hack sites they know are a challenge like DOD and stuff. So it all depends on the person as to what they will and wont hack!

This is nothing David/ Redz , ... dont give them the satisfaction of enjoying this, just keep pushing through the B.S!

People like this are criminals in my mind.

Just lame.

People who hack people need to get layed for the first time, and get out and try to enjoy life not behind a keyboard!

Really hackers aren't much different than us... its just a hobby. We mod our cars to make uber-amounts of HP, but to what gain? Its just something we enjoy and spend time with. You might spend 3000 bucks to get 250whp, but when do you use that daily when an 80HP car would do the same thing for daily driving. Serious car-modding (engine swaps, turboing, etc.) is illegal, as with hacking. Not condoning it, but I bet people say the same thing ab out people that mod cars.

I'm sure because of incorrectly done modding the environment gets plenty of extra added pollution and probably causes thousands of deaths a year because of failures in parts that were modified. Creates a lot of cash flow for aftermarket companies and mechanics though. tongue.gif

The environment is getting polluted regardless of vehicles.

LOL, your comparing accidental deaths to preventable acts of crime?

totally different topic my friend.

i see your point but hackers do this on purpose. If one of our mods goes wrong its not like we planned for that to happen. Yes i understand its a hobby like ours but still at the same time its a completely different ethic that we use than what they use! So as its just a hobby most of them do it to hurt others.

Dragun has the right idea...

Not saying they are comparable, hell... you could consider people that leave the water on when they brush their teeth to be extremely wasteful because it wastes probably millions of gallons of water in the U.S per day.

Still, if you take an ordinary Honda Civic, with stock exhaust, two cats, and normal restrictions, then you put on an I/H/E your going to be flowing more fuel through the injectors, which undoubtedly leads to more smog, and probably removing a catalytic convertor along the way, reducing emission reductions. You take all the people that have I/H/E in the U.S and add up the extra smog it produces, and it probably is a good amount that is preventable. Noise pollution from added amps/subs comes into play as well.

They're preventable accidental deaths... I've known people that put a rod from the engine block through the dash and killed themselves, turbocharged a vehicle and had an injector fail while under nitrous and boost and paralyzed themselves, etc. Car modding is illegal in most instances, and all of those deaths were preventable, not accidental if it was more enforced.
