The breach involved a brute force attack, a method in which the attacker systematically attempts various combinations of credentials to gain unauthorized access. This type of attack can be highly effective if the targeted system does not have proper rate limiting or account lockout mechanisms in place.
The motive behind the attack was stated as “Revenge against that website,” suggesting that the attacker had a personal grievance or perceived wrong related to the site. This indicates that the attack was driven by a personal vendetta rather than broader hacking goals or ideologies.
