The attacker exploited an SQL Injection vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to the website. SQL Injection involves inserting malicious SQL queries into input fields or URLs to manipulate the site’s database. In this case, the attacker was able to execute unauthorized commands, which led to alterations and defacement of the website’s content.

The attacker’s reason for the breach was “Heh…just for fun!” This suggests that the motivation behind the incident was to showcase technical skills or create disruption for amusement, rather than pursuing any specific goals or objectives.
