Is the Government Done Hacking the Forums?

[rat]

Did the "Hole Seekers" get all the info they needed?

[surebet]

Please explain to me how you know this was Obummer's fault.

Unfortunately, yes. They got everything they wanted, and kept getting it for several months...

[Nancarrow]

To the OP: well maybe they're done for now, but I'm sure they'll start again whenever another need comes up. Also, 'Hole seekers'?  

To surebet: 'Obummer'.   Grow up. But as for how we can be fairly sure (not certain, granted) that this was the US government, well I think Occam's razor works here. Though another possibility is: we all know that the forum admins will have had to cooperate with the USG in some form to bring DPR down. Presumably some peeps with leet haxxor skillz won't have been happy with this, and possibly it was some form of retaliation. But I still think USG is most likely.

is this forum hosted on a 486 or something ?

A php forum gets hacked and the simplest explanation you can think of is "NSA did it"? William of Ockham is facepalming in his grave.

it was hosted on his own computer it could have been a hardware fault, any malicious code could have been planted ages ago

What are their aims? They r hackers or crackers? Steal data or only show their ability?

They are a super secret group of top notch government bank sponsored cyber ninja hackers. They specifically fight against pirates and their associated heated beverage containers.

99% chance this was a Gov op . There is no such thing as coincidences,,Fairy farts or Unicorns ...... Have you guys been living under a rock for the past year? Have you seen or read what our government has been doing lately? This Forum held a treasure trove of information about Bitcoin users and what they are up to. This is just the beginning of the Governments New War on BitCoin and Crypto. The "Hole Seekers" are just another NSA asset.

i heard they had a penchant for exposing posers who portray themselves as professional forum administrators.

Now now, you can only do so much with an amateur website like this. It's not as if thermos has over half a million dollars in contributions just lying around to get a professional solution.






Oh.
