Hey, Community!

When I was in high school, someone hacked my dad’s business website. The general site infrastructure was still there, but the entire thing was in a language we didn’t understand and couldn’t easily identify. He ran a manufacturing plant, and the website wasn’t part of his day-to-day tasks. I remember having the distinct impression that no one really knew exactly how long the site had been taken over before they caught the changes and started working on a fix.
