4. Writes a thread on GFY about it.
5. Then tomorrow writes a thread how someone "wiped" his databases.
6. Then basically says that someone gained access to all of your accounts and posted stuff on GFY.

Yeah, right.


Step two isn't necessary.

1. Exploits well known word press exploits in older versions to gain control of server
2. Uses GFY password reminder to send email to domain on compromised server
