RIAA Website Wiped Clean by "Hackers"
Apparently the RIAA is so busy suing consumers that they forgot to hire a
decent programmer. With a simple SQL injection, all their propaganda has
been successfully wiped from the site.
It started out on the social news website Reddit, where a link to a really
slow SQL query was posted. While the Reddit users were trying to kill the
RIAA server, someone allegedly decided to up the ante and wipe the site's
entire database.
The comments on Reddit are only speculation so far. Based on the username,
which was apparently "webReadOnly", it might not have been setup correctly,
or someone could have found another way to delete the content form the site.
