Sugah's Place Hacked AGAIN!
J. M. Pescado:
I think it is distinctly possible that it may be both. There are parties on record as being willing to enlist others to launch these attacks, and if there is an intersection in these sets, it is possible the database leak has gone "wild" and is now circulating the broader Internet, which would mean at least some of these attacks, even if they share the TSR root origin, no longer have a political connection to the original database leak and are now attacks being performed using this database which has been circulated into the wild.
saraswati:
That makes a lot of sense to me Pescado. I remember last year, there were some OTT personalities who were way too ready to blame you for the ACJ hack, which is a bit like a Sims community version of the Politician's Syllogism from Yes Minister.
What I can't understand is why Sugah didn't change her passwords and tighten up her security if she's already been hacked once. I was positively paranoid about security for a while after Prism got hacked.
Inge:
...or whether she did, and something else is going on...

Yes, but you're Saraswati and your behavior is not typical of how other people operate. You are considerably more paranoid than the average bear, although not as paranoid as me. I don't even engage in my paranoia because I believe in an actual threat, I just do it as a hobby because I can.

Thank you Pescado, I take that as a compliment of sorts. :) I learned my lesson out of the fiasco when Prism got hacked, it was partially my own fault because I was with a crap host. I should have been paying more attention and getting off my arse and paying more attention to security. However, having made that mistake, I at least got off my rear end and I learned to be more cautious.
