Hackers Lay Claim to Saudi Aramco Cyberattack

[HardOCP News]

Is it just me or does it seem like these groups just comb the internet looking for places with ass-like security, hack them, and then make up the reason "why" later? Probably just me.

The hackers said that on Aug. 15, they unleashed a malicious virus into Saudi Aramco, the Saudi government-owned oil company, in retribution for what they said was the government’s support for “oppressive measures” in the Middle East.

I think it goes in an order like this:

1. comb IP's for vunerabilities.

2. Find vunerable IP address

3. scan network to see what's on there.

4. figure out who's PC's/network it is....

5. THEN Decide what to do, based on who's PC's.

ex1: some lame organization... make a public post with reason they hacked it.

ex2: porn servers.... download porn... say nothing

ex3: hot chick's house... figure out a way to turn on her webcam
