As someone who watched it happen in real-time, the sequence of events seemed to be:
1. Random profile pics started getting swapped out to Poa.st logos. These seemed to be happening one-by-one, with a priority for high-visibility posters and active chat-users.
2. Suddenly the site goes down
3. Null explains off-site that he noticed the failed download attempt (file too large) and pulled the plug.
But I'm sure a drool-dog will be around shortly to correct me if I am in error.
Now, if they were wicked friggin' smaaht about it, they would have:
1. Waited until the one person who could stop them was asleep, or at the very least not active on-site and in-chat, before gaying up their ops.
2. Skipped the extra gay-oppery of calling attention to their reindeer games. Letting people know they're being hacked is a sure-fire way to wake the jannies and get them mitigating damage.
3. Compiled a list of commands to slyly inject into chat one after the other, leaving all parties none-the-wiser as they slowly delete key targets, maybe wipe some logs, jumble up some databases, etc.
4. When all their mission critical shit is done and with every last kiwi doxed, THEN top it all off by re-branding KF with a brand new LGBT rights theme that would make a AAA corporation blush.
Boom. I can barely even HelloWorld.bat, and I'm already a better hacker than these chucklefucks.
