IMO it's pretty obvious he is trolling everyone. 99% sure he set up this character then "hacked" his own website. Still funny though, job well done.
And .us domains, really?
Done right and to extremes it's quite a schizophrenic art form. His commitment to the craft is impressive, I can't really recall ever having seen someone sell it so hard and so long without breaking character. The youtube videos [1] from last year especially, even when he throws in an obvious gimme like a letter from a fan that's over the top he does the whole thing without a crack of a smile.
He must work in the infosec world somewhere, it's funny that those that know him don't out him. Not many trolls are willing to go the extra mile and commit their real likeness, etc.
With all that said I'd give it a 50/50 shot the intrusion wasn't fake, I could see a website with an intentional vulnerability or two added to troll the skiddies. It certainly would fit with the rest of the commitment to the performance.
Admit it, you still do. Look at how you talk about it. You haven't moved on.
Not that that's super relevant; it's a hacker game, hacker website, SHODAN is something of a hacker icon, too, I'd wager, and I happened to notice it. Bleh.
