I found it interesting that the attacker looked for help on the attackee's own site. I guess it truly proves how good of a repository of information StackOverflow is.
There's a new service SO could offer: help a company under attack or recently attacked correlate the methods with suspicious users on SO, based on IP addresses and the presumption that attackers would use the same system to get help as used in the attack.
I feel like there's privacy implications around that. You'd need to be careful that it couldn't be abused.
Although the article was written in an extremely straightforward and dry technical manner, this was comedy gold.
Should probably be classified as a meta-breach. :)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the reason why the article keeps repeating that is not a desire to provide the most detailed information about the breach...
