Incident Details:

The attack was executed through an SQL Injection vulnerability, a common exploit that allows attackers to manipulate the database queries executed by the web application. This vulnerability provided unauthorized access to the site’s backend, enabling the attacker to alter and deface the content displayed to users. The breach highlighted weaknesses in the website’s input validation and security measures, which failed to prevent such unauthorized access.

The motive behind the attack was stated as “Heh…just for fun!”, which suggests that the defacement was carried out without any specific agenda or targeted goal, beyond the hacker’s personal amusement and challenge. This type of motivation often reflects a desire to demonstrate technical prowess rather than to achieve a particular outcome or make a statement.
