If you weren't lurking the threads on E/b/aums when the Facebook lulzfest occured, read this article.

To the people responsible for delivering the lulz: I <3 you. Wanna have lunch sometime?

Now, a look behind the scenes from various perspectives:

"I am another stupid n00b who fails at basic internet security because I lack common sense! I use the same passwords for all my accounts, so when one of them is compromised, all my accounts get pwned and goatsed like a stack of dominoes going PWN PWN PWN as they collapse in an infinite loop of fail! When I get pwned and exposed for the stupid n00b I am, I BAWWWWW and expect sympathy from the internets because I don't like admitting that I fail at computers! If I acted like this IRL, I would be mugged daily and ultimately murdered, but somehow on the internet I can evade all responsibility for my actions because I can pin the blame on "evil hackers"! Oh well, maybe Fox News will be interested in my story so they can fear-monger away, so that people will give up their free speech on the internet and pay more for whitehat scams aka "security" products! Yay!" --lolcows, er, I meant victims

"I am a posturing retard who knows nothing about hacking, so I conflate cracking and phishing with hacking in my sensational headline so I can both fear-monger and get more readers! I took some tips from Fox News and now I look even more retarded for it! I just hope that nobody with a brain comes along and calls me out on my ignorance!" --The Coffee Desk author

"I don't know anything about computers but I know hackers are evil because the media says so, and this proves it! I am an ignorant dumbfuck but I don't want to learn because I will blindly trust the media like the sheep I am! Ban 4chan! BANNNNNNNNN 4chan! I WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL THE INTERNET BECAUSE IT IS TOO SCARY FOR ME BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" --90% of internet users

"Wow, despite the fail that E/b/aums has become lately, something lulzy and win came out of it. Perhaps there is hope afeter all...." --/b/ oldfags and cancer-free channers

"OMGWTF1337HAX!!!" --snot-nosed skiddies

[Alternates between laughing and facepalming] --intelligent, well-informed internet users

"We did it for the lulz!" --E/b/aumsworld
