Not even that, I put money the fact they exploited a previously published vulnerability in one of the facilities that mudclub uses on its server(s) be it a webapp or one of the host daemons, and they exploited it using tools created and published by someone else (a *real* security researcher). All these muppets do is scan the internet looking for hosts that have these known and unpatched weaknesses (you often only need google to do that!) and then do their deed of exploiting the bug. Very little skill base required - pretty much point and click. They do not research for new weaknesses in software themselves nor do they design and program the tools to do it - purely scriptkiddies. The software vendors need to keep on top of releasing security patches and the end user admins need to keep on top of applying them.

Its because they only have very limited brain cells and no mates. This type of stuff is normally done by virgins that are still sat behind a PC expecting a woman to jump out of windows vista and tell them how hot they find computer geeks !

They probably didn't look at the site or ever visited it, it was just another vulnerable easy target that was on a long list, the attack could even have even automated. Not saying this is what happened to mudclub - could be something totally different... just I am just guessing based on experience. They just gain another victim, as far as I knwo they don't even send out a message like others do such as 'down with the USA' or whatever, no these guys seem to just tag the site like a graffiti tit goes around town spraying his tag.
