Warning world of ball pythons .com has been hacked.

I don't think the hackers really understand what we do, while I understand the them looking like objects in a list to the outsider, breeding conditions obviously have to be appropriate or we couldn't make anything on that list and there is no genetic manipulation, it is all selective breeding. Almost wish you could respond to the hackers lol.

I seriously doubt that they have an actual AR agenda, I suspect that it's more of an excuse to justify their vandalism of a website. Like a bunch of mean little kids wrecking someone else's fun just because they can. They're more bully than activist.

It's probably someone who doesn't think people should breed the spider morph lol. :salute:!

There are some people who hate the very idea of all morphs.

I fell in love with a normal ball python years and years before I ever thought about owning a morph. :oops:

Can't abide people who think they have the right to tell others what they can and cannot do with their own animals though.

That was so much irony my shirts are done for the week.

Honestly, I wouldn't advise it. They would probably realize that they've managed to annoy a few people and it could encourage them to strike again. If they don't get a huge response, they probably won't bother again because they aren't really anything serious. WOBP didn't seem to lose any data and the hackers probably didn't steal tables for account passwords. It was just a little website defacement that sat in front of the real website. If you really want to e-mail them still, M@06@Deatheaters.com is the address they left. :P

Just remove the first @ symbol, that's just there to prevent any accidental clicks.

They should be targeting the puppy mill industry with dogs who are locked up in 1x1 cages to breed or until their sold. That is not natural. For snakes who spend 99% of their time in termite mounds a rack is the most natural habitat. PETA states ball pythons are taken from the wild while almost all of the ball pythons sold are captive bred. Their are many reptiles and other pets taken from the wild that these activists should worry about.

The only thing I dis agree with is that Ball pythons are objects. By definition they are an object :D second we don't manipulate their genetics nature does we just reproduce the natural occurrence in captive enviroments

those hackers' parents should have engaged in more selective breeding

Dont lump them all together some do stupid things from time to time but as a general group a lot of what they are doing is positive..well negative things to attempt to shine a light on other negative things (aka all the pedo cracking/tracking stuff)

Alright, so I followed the trail they left and ended up at this site :http://www.hack-mirror.com/

while I don't see their specific hack, it is a site where it looks like people get points based on how many websites they deface. So looks like someone who really couldn't give a crap about our hobby and just wanted some points for this website. Side note some of the other website defacements are kinda funny. The one playing taylor swift's trouble fit very well.
