We've repeatedly watched as "the mainstream restricts us so we'll do our own thing" sites are built with absolutely rudimentary security faults. They're rushed, have a very eager and non-discretionary userbase that is chomping at the bit. They usually have compromised motivations.
And then they fall. It has become sadly predictable.
Except that this isn't 'whataboutism' since I already agreed with what you said, that GiveSendGo definitely had poor security whilst also not supporting or justifying with hacktivists, criminals or script-kiddies attacking anyone's site.
> Nor did I "cheer on" anything:
Never directly accused you for cheering: I'm only predicting the obvious.
If one is supporting hackers breaching other peoples websites they don't like, whilst defending another with that phrase which applies to everyone as an excuse for it, then you would fall under that category.
> And then they fall. It has become sadly predictable.
Yes, it's very predictable. Unfortunately it can happen to anyone. Whether if you are big like GoDaddy or small like GiveSendGo. These hackers are not on anyone's side.
