if they want to hack something try my student loan, make that go away and then I would be impressed.

I am kind of biased. Although I am not a huge fan of hackers doing their trade, I actually appreciate "the good guys" to simply test security issues on websites/ platforms in order to point the owner of it towards the lack of security. So not all the hacks take place in order to do harm (for example for exploiting financial or trade information) or simply to maintain a doubtful attitude like sillyness or childishness. As for "Dark Night" and his friends: I feel inclined to accept them as such "good guys", 'cause probably they had no other intention as to give 'us' a hint about the WA-forum-condition ... But I won't go as far as give them justification for what they did, because actually deleting database-information is one unnecessary step further and thus too far then just simply 'mailing' Kc or Nikvoodoo or any other authority on our beloved turf about a certain (small) lack of security ...

Anyway: Most important it is that there is no real harm done (and I got a second chance on the Reptrivia, which I failed again ...).

Best wishes!
