While that's certainly a damaging hack, I don't see how it's a huge deal.

Good thing life never began with computers, what would we do? I'll admit I kinda want a huge hack with a full internet crash. I'd like to see everyone go crazy thinking about how they can't get onto Gamespot anymore instead of the fact that they are alive and still breathing. "Tear down the Wall!"

Well i'm guessing it has lower security than bigger sites. If all they've got is security protecting them from external connections it makes sense, as soon as they got through they could do anything they wanted so maybe their talents arn't that great or they were just practising some route in that they found and they'll strike bigger sites now that they know it's worked.

Except that hacking the internets is basically impossible, the closest you could get is bringing down the ISP exchanges.

Hacking small sites doesn't usually make you famous but i guess big companies tend to cover up security breaches cause the bad publicity causes more damage than any hacker could achieve
