Default Malicious Posts On Epilepsy Forum Cause Seizures

This is proof positive that some people really deserve an *** kicking. Normally hackers and their antics don’t really bother me one way or the other but this is pretty low, don’t you guys think so?

The attack happened when hackers exploited a security hole in the foundation's publishing software that allowed them to quickly make numerous posts and overwhelm the site's support forums. Within the hackers' posts were small flashing pictures and links.

Saw this a while back but didn't feel like posting on it.

It is quite sad, but hey, they had it coming. Other forums have to have images approved by a mod before they show up.
