Some funny dude

You mean where the homepage gave you that baby flipping you off with a bomb, instead of forwarding you to the news page? It's nice, but luckily, he didn't exploit the index2 one too

What Mecheon said. This was a funny hack, and nothing got damaged.

More importantly, you folks who call these guys "noobs", "idiots" or "retards"... have no sense of humor. And seeing as how probably none of you can actually hack, compared to them, you're the noob.

Grey hackers do not do things like that noob did.

we are not noobs because most of us are not hackers.

however I am a complete noob at the sport.

The guy probably just opened the script to copy it onto a forum, then post a little "tag," like grafitti, to tell them "wE wUz HeEr"

I didnt even noticied that...
the url in my bookmarks is different (http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=News&sid=)

I don't care that you can justify his reasons for hacking, he was doing nothing to help anyone. He claimed he was only doing this to make things better, defacing a website makes nothing better. If you're stupid enough to waste your time hacking a fan site to a video game, you truly need to find another hobby.

Also, I found nothing funny about the picture... a baby flipping you off has nothing funny about it.

MecheonIt was only a hacker: Luckily, it wasn't a cracker. There's a difference

Hacker: Hacks to learn and so forth. Probably hacked here to check the php scripts or something
Cracker: Hacks to deliberatly cause something bad to happan

So yes, nothing serious

Wrong.
Hackers: guys that hack into sites etc to cause damage, eg. by stealing codes (Half-Life, anyone?).
Crackers: guys that hack into sites to make the owner aware of glitches, holes and other things which a hacker could abuse to do what I said above.

Of course, not every hacker has the same talent. Worst case are so called Script-Kiddes, people who have no real clue and just copy from pros, altering malware etc. Most malware (virus, worms, etc) is made by those.
