the one of the main reasons that it was hacked was that most of the sites uses simplecoding the coding in which pass is held should be tough i think that can be the reason what happened to such and important site
1 way to prevent such hacking is secure the pass with a coding from within site in which only that person who is Main Admin can access the site from his CPU. Fairly not hard if you have know Languages, or PHP.
i agree with ya but hacking becomes easier generally becasue of the user once you have got someones email it become easier to hack becasue most of the people keep passes of easier thing, names ,codes etc
Actually, considering I was hacking sites and stuff. I consider that if you got the email you can't "fully" hack them. You need to use the PHP or java skills to break down he page and get the pass from there. Easy said than done. I know.
that sucks who ever did this can rot in hell
