Or was a “hack” at all...someone signing up for an account and spamming the site is not a hack. An existing FR user with a terrible password that gets exploited is also not a “hack” of the site.
But this was several different accounts, all long time FReepers.
This were at least 5 accounts with posts seconds apart. It was a hack.
It looked like the attack was a spoofed DNS that invited Freepers to login to their fake website server thereby giving up their password as part of the login which the hacker then used to make bogus posts on the real Fresno server.
