No, you really have to fuck up to get hacked like that.
Why would law enforcement care about a site that reviews legal vendors? Was probably some bored kid that hacked them, or a vendor with bad reviews.
perhaps you recently emerged from a 90's era coma, bad haircut and all - because the days are long gone of state involvement being the predictable, technically naïve, hardware-superannuated, top-down afterthought or occasional and tightly-leashed outsourced unit periodically nibbling at cybercrime.
lines are utterly blurred, law 'enforcement' takes the blank cheque approach of purviews, with loyal, conveniently removed, ideologically in-tune and morally ambivalent satellite-bodies under little specific instruction aside from general spoken/unspoken, legal/illegal objectives
you don't need to be shy, socially awkward and or grotesquely obese or resemble the average scotch bluelighter in any other way - in order to have your nubile, virginal laptop/smartphone/website thoroughly defiled, remotely controlled, even weaponised against you and others around you as a tool of harassment. in fact your average white van man can become as the most formidable nihilist black-hat genius given hes able to copy/paste code provided to him between mandatory bouts of rampant wolfwhistling, uncontrollable horn honking and occasional case of your standard road-based rage
it really is indicative of the - probably somewhat intended - security shitstorm coming down the line for our convenient, ubiquitous smartdrunk society and heralds the nightmarish, tyrannical wet-dream possibilities resulting from our sleepwalking into such a predicament. but for now, all that matters is i have experienced two brand new tablets, literally in one minute - go from cellophane to remotely administrated, largely greyed-out and unfixable, monitoring device with every recourse to be reversed catered for in one block of code equal-parts beautiful and terrifying - and far beyond even our most adept codewriters here -what id imagine to be state-level stuff. just without the stamp and pesky rules that come along with official, 20th century privacy intrusion (come back btw, all is forgiven)
hacking by numbers
fuck someones shit up six ways to sunday without the adolescence dedicated to furious wanking in frustrated solitude.. you can see the appeal
