Quote from: nucka on December 18, 2012, 08:45 pmthe "quickness" of carrying out the hack depends upon what they exploited. ie cache tables, blocks, images, whatever.... each "system" has different data size limitations... think of it like a cardboard box. once the box is full, you can't put anything else in it. so you have to empty the box, and refill it. then after you do that however many times it takes, then you have to have all that dumped stuff assemble, then execute. i guess it's a slightly difficult concept to understand unless you are a techie. trust me. it takes time to mount a complete attack via just sql injection. the thing that is scariest is that they could have already locked out admin PRIOR to changing all the images and could be furiously writing code to further exploit the site (ie a completely compromised server) who says that admin still has access? why are they not saying anything right now? because they may be shitting bricks right now and now know what to do except take the site down...the pissing part is that most likely they hackers simply identified a security hole because admin didn't keep apache/solr/whatever properly updated.that's what happened to sony. just didn't install a server update. that's all it takes.I know for a fact that they apply security updates. How? I have eyes and poke around at things. Just take my word for it. Also, I applaud your tone, sir, it's very neutral now. That said... you still haven't told me what the box represents. Why can't they fill up a dozen at once?
