I guess it was bound to happen eventually. I mean, they are like Microsoft in some respect when it comes to hackers, every ones love-hate relationship, in that they don’t like them, yet they bother to try to hack them anyway. Personally I think it only proves the point that they are popular to begin with and for good reason, regardless of how (un)important the people who hacked them think they are, these so called hackers probably wouldn’t have been inspired to learn about such things without people like Dan and Kevin in the first place. Its ironic, but every time I see a black hat do something like this and the recent “anti-sec” movement, it only brings more attention to the people they are trying to make examples out of, causing the exact opposite of what they intended to do, which is show how irelavent someone is. They only end up making those people more popular, which probably pisses themselves off even more. I call for a new movement, the “Anti-tard-hat” movement, where black hats to hack hackers get no more press for their actions. In other words, move along people, nothing to see here…
