The attacker used social engineering to exploit the website. Social engineering involves manipulating individuals into divulging confidential information or performing actions that compromise security. In this case, the attacker likely tricked individuals associated with the site into providing access or revealing credentials, which led to unauthorized changes on the website.

The reason for the attack was “Heh…just for fun!” indicating that the motive behind the incident was to display technical capabilities or cause disruption purely for amusement, rather than having any specific goals or objectives.
