RIAA Website Wiped Clean by “Hackers”

torrentfreak.com — Apparently the RIAA is so busy suing consumers that they forgot to hire a decent programmer. With a simple SQL injection, all their propaganda has been successfully wiped from the site.

        • Cl1mh4224rd, on 01/20/2008, -4/+11Dude, just... go to the damn website. It works.

          http://riaa.com/aboutus.php

          Their routers probably just aren't set to respond to pings. (Edit: Actually, it looks like the server that pings are being forwarded to isn't reachable, but whatever... the site's still up.)
          • sarge96, on 01/20/2008, -0/+4I can rarely actually get a connection.... and when I do it's dog slow.... but I guess it's still up, if only just. I
            couldn't reach it at all before.

    • Elranzer, on 01/20/2008, -0/+171If the RIAA site goes under, perhaps ThePirateBay will offer to host them on their webserver alongside SuprNova, Demonoid and Oink?
    • capiCrimm, on 01/20/2008, -5/+16it would be if they were actually wiped. What happened it reddit users flooded the db. It's probably ***** connection errors out of it's ass but the output is hiding(or not checking for) them. If you were to load the webpage enough times you might actually see the data.

      It is most definitely not wiped. Plus anyone who could wipe it would obviously do slanderous inserts as well.
      • jkizzle, on 01/20/2008, -0/+13they did...
      • Eeqmcsq, on 01/20/2008, -2/+9I can verify that what you said was correct. Once in a while, I saw real data on one of their pages. Too bad. :(
      • Cl1mh4224rd, on 01/20/2008, -5/+3> "It's probably ***** connection errors out of it's ass but the output is hiding(or not checking for) them."

        I second Eeqmcsq's verification of this. I went down the list of pages and saw content on their Key Statistics page. Refreshed the page and got the "temporarily removed" line.

        Their database is indeed still intact. Article buried as inaccurate.
      • rhabd0mancer, on 01/20/2008, -1/+11There's a link to the Pirate Bay on their newsroom page.

        RIAA done been wiped.
        • capiCrimm, on 01/20/2008, -1/+9that's not a real link, that's an XSS injection. Check the RIAA url, you'll see the pirate bay link in there. You can even change the url and the link will change. No one has insert access to the db.

          Sorry, I wish we did.

    • davidtookit, on 01/21/2008, -5/+0This is fake. Before I continue to comment, I have to make it 100% clear, I hate the RIAA as much as any other pirater. But the naivity of the general public is appauling. RIAA.com was bought anonymously when the domain last expired some time ago. The anonymous person kindly donated it to The Pirate Bay as a hack at the RIAA. If you look in the third image of the proof, you can clearly see that the javascript alert box has RIAA.com as its domain. To the few comments out there who have also pointed this out, well done! You are not idiots. Do some research before you digg something and for the person who made the article.
      • hagerman, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2That was IFPI.com, not RIAA.com. Maybe you should do some research before you comment ;)
    • se1zure, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1yeha, i'm sure the riaa was to busy to "hire a decent programmer".

      Just like every other major corporation who has had their site hacked at one point or another.
      and I don't think it was a "simple" SQL injection, considering the poster himself didn't know what it was or how it worked.

    http://tinyurl.com/2vrzkh (Yeah i know, you don't trust tinyURL, but the link was frigging huge, it's real, if not digg me down into oblivion)

    It'll probably get fixed soon, so obligatory screencap:

    • crestfall, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3While I share your sentiment, the word Karma, as used in western culture today, basically means "what comes around, goes around". It's sort of a catch-all excuse for revenge. I'm not sure how this happened, as it originally meant (AFAIK) actions resulting from desire. Those well-versed in the histories of Buddhism and Hinduism, feel free to correct me. Not that you asked any of this, I am simply interested in this modern belief system.

    • Scheissen, on 01/20/2008, -0/+17???

      Websites can't be responsible for how their users act and Digg had nothing to do with the RIAA being hacked.
      • breezytrees, on 01/20/2008, -1/+16??? is definitely spot on.

        universities can't be responsible for how their students act but somehow the RIAA claims they are and has sued various institutions across the nation. With this baffling logic, websites are easily fair game.
        • ByteGuerilla, on 01/20/2008, -0/+10ebaumsworld did it anyway.
        • StarlessKnight, on 01/20/2008, -4/+2Universities control most of the internet access going in or out and can set up a firewall. DIGG has no way to monitor or block the internet traffic of its users offsite.

  • bluzen, on 01/20/2008, -81/+4Wow, real mature. It would be funny, if this was not such a serious manner (media rights). Way to let the RIAA actually have a means to propagate their twisted message through a conduit media (by playing the victim). A better tactic would be to hire a bunch of lobbyist on our behave to push bills through Congress that conform to fair use of purchased media. You really can't rely on EFF to do everything.
    • Kr4t05, on 01/20/2008, -1/+20But, this makes us feel so much better...
    • bluzen, on 01/20/2008, -31/+3Go ahead digg me down, like I really give a *****. The truth is, these people are laughing at you. They don't really care if you hack their website. Its a ***** website. They already own the press (media and Congress). Worse, they own this community as well. At the end of the day, the other thing that changes opinion is money and they have a lot of it, and the so-called anti-RIAA community has none. Good luck guys, the battle is already over... you just don't realize that you've lost.
      • giant81, on 01/20/2008, -3/+3Exactly!! The only thing that congress and the press see is money, and nobody rich enough to take on the RIAA cares.
        You fight wars in the ways we can afford to. Unfortunately congress isn't one of them anymore.
      • ronaldinho, on 01/20/2008, -0/+1Um, so the way we fight back is to keep downloading (or for me, only buy the ones that really deserves my money)

        That will teach them
      • nontitle, on 01/20/2008, -1/+1AFAIK, the anti-RIAA community is everyone who isn't part of RIAA. And who isn't you.
      • bluzen, on 01/20/2008, -1/+0Look, I don't care what you believe. What I know is that in about two weeks this will likely be used against those who want to respect fair use rights. This is one of many incidents the RIAA can use in its campaign against consumers. Do you know how many bills have been introduced to Congress that decrease the rights of individuals. It is only a matter of time before one of them passes. I can just see it now. About a year a month from now some bill passing both the House and the Senate with both Democrat and Republican support that equates illegal file downloading to terrorism. You go from being an animal rights activists to a terrorist and a fair use advocate to a terrorist. Again, my only comment is why not stay on target and worry about the actual issue rather than spray painting the RIAA sucks (not literal) on their website. Do you think they are afraid or consumers or for that matter respect individuals? Summary: Just be the better person, position better arguments and try to bring the press back over to the side of fair use.
    • kinseyincanada, on 01/20/2008, -0/+18do you have a link to where i can torrent a lobbyist?
    • bluzen, on 01/20/2008, -17/+2No, and that is why we will loose. Decisions within a society go with those with the most vested interest. In order to have this kind of political foot hold, you need money. For the RIAA and MPAA, it is simply a waiting game. They will eventually get all the legislation they need to secure their content (it will be hacked... file content), but it will matter little because it will be more difficult (example: Audible Audio or Blu-ray can be bypassed but at what cost to your time) and laws will make not only the distribution of copyrighted songs illegal but punishable by real prison time for mere owning of contraband.
      Hacking of a website if juvenile and simply accomplishes nothing in the big scheme of things. It might makes us feel good, but it only serves as propaganda for them to go back to Congress with.
      • iticu, on 01/20/2008, -0/+7And this all depends on whether the good artists start to realise that they can make muchmore money than they could with the RIAA by selling the music themselves via download.

        I say "good" artists because RIAA will still market all the crappy pop fad music, but who cares about that anyways?

      The two comments about AV flagging the content are somewhat typical. Reminds me of posts I've seen where people are asking how to remove some sort of "Java" virus. Where in actuality, the user at some point in time visited a web page that tries to exploit a java vulnerability. And that CLASS file being in the browser's cache is enough for the end-user to think they're infected with a virus, thanks to their AV software.

      • SubaruPowah, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1Stalkers welcome.
    • lucutus, on 01/20/2008, -0/+5Well they did remove just about all content. I'd call that a malicious hack. Every link I click results in "It appears that the article you requested has been temporarily removed." But the media player works lol! It's playing some horrible partial songs.
    • unluckier, on 01/20/2008, -0/+17*Just* injection, huh? That means that a flaw in the web site can allow anybody can alter the content of the web site (which comes from a SQL database). The impact of that is non-trivial if you ask me.
      What do you consider the requirements for a site to be "hacked" then?
    • cbuddha42, on 01/20/2008, -0/+11Probably more traffic this weekend than in the last month. Who the hell would go to the RIAA's website anyway?
    • bigmac375, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2haha hammered
    • ryanonfire, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4Hammered like the whore of Babylon
  • allyant, on 01/20/2008, -1/+106Go away RIAA, you are wasting my time.
  • SQLserver, on 01/20/2008, -1/+58LOL Their website is virtually un-accessible because of all the traffic...

    Serves them right.
    • xxxana, on 01/20/2008, -0/+13Now if only all diggers start gigaloading, they'll be paying ALOT for their bandwidth ^^
    • stfucupcake, on 01/20/2008, -0/+6And let's face it, this is as much traffic that the riaa site will ever see.
  • chuckd01, on 01/20/2008, -0/+83The whole site is down now! Thanks Digg!
  • chuckd01, on 01/20/2008, -32/+4The whole site is down now! Thanks Digg!!
  • jasmin888, on 01/20/2008, -0/+9Yeah, they're getting hammered but content apparently is untouched.
  • windmillninja, on 01/20/2008, -0/+70WIPED FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!
  • JusticeFriend, on 01/20/2008, -3/+52RIAA:
    YOU GOT OWNED period.
    Go ***** yourselves.
    • Nath4n, on 01/20/2008, -2/+13Damn, the words ***** and period should not be so close together i just had a horrible flashback..
  • alphadog, on 01/20/2008, -0/+13That's pretty funny if you ask me.
  • Eviloution, on 01/20/2008, -0/+16what a wonderful thing...
  • sdlvx, on 01/20/2008, -0/+18Prepare for decimation, for you are not worthy of assimilation.
    • IEatHamburgers, on 01/20/2008, -2/+4Do you even know the definition of decimation? I think they deserve to be destroyed by more than a small fraction.
    • someone173406, on 01/20/2008, -0/+3How about annihilation?
    • sdlvx, on 01/20/2008, -0/+5ugh, it's a quote from Command and Conquer. I'm on a website for geeks and no one is getting my geeky remarks. I must be some sort of ubber geek. =[
    • nhprm, on 01/20/2008, -1/+1IEATHAMBURGERS: your 1 in 10 killing definition is one of many: do YOU know the definition? Look it up in the oed and get back to us
  • leefnaspleaf, on 01/20/2008, -1/+132We should do RIAA links every day.
    Because ***** them.
    • bagelmaster, on 01/20/2008, -0/+8I agree. I would do my daily clicking of the link for greater justice!
    • orangefly, on 01/20/2008, -0/+3firefox "reload every" plugin....
    • Thedarklord187, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2ha i concur let us bring sweet justice to them
  • searcade, on 01/20/2008, -10/+7Its an xss injection, not a sql
    • hollerith, on 01/20/2008, -0/+2links please?
    • shark615, on 01/20/2008, -1/+2how is this cross site scripting? The above link is classic sql injection you know the part were a url variable is exe without being cleaned up
    • jabab, on 01/20/2008, -0/+7Actually it's both at the same time.
      • Amadeus2490, on 01/21/2008, -1/+7I think it'd be funnier if it was an ass injection.

        []==|========>(_)_)

        /kehehehe
  • rjinswand, on 01/20/2008, -0/+21i must admit i lolled :D, even if i live in the UK...
  • searcade, on 01/20/2008, -1/+135In The other news, the RIAA Website has suffered the "Digg Effect" MUHAHAHAHA
    • sfacets, on 01/20/2008, -5/+1Doubt it...
    • PURPLEDRINK, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3no, but in the other news RIAA confirms first visitors to their ***** website
  • Winsalot, on 01/20/2008, -1/+9now you cant even get onto the RIAA website, lollerskates.....
  • redwoodtree, on 01/20/2008, -0/+54this is funny, knowing the riaa, they're going to sue every single ip address that's hit them in the last 48 hours , they'll probably claim that no one is allowed to visit their web site without written permission.

    Let the law suits roll! It's a good day for the lawyers.
  • s6t9eve, on 01/20/2008, -0/+12Its an XSS vulnerability for that pirate bay link... that link does not actually exist on their site, you could make any link you wanted show up on the page, but it owuld only ever show on your pc and not other's.
  • tenderstorm, on 01/20/2008, -1/+16hehe www.riaa.com site is DDoSed right now....
  • wattersm, on 01/20/2008, -0/+17Dugg, Reddit, and soon to be Slashdotted. muahaha.
  • scilec, on 01/20/2008, -0/+26RIAA
    Who we are...



    At first, I thought that the RIAA just decided to be honest.
  • kidlinux, on 01/20/2008, -0/+22This isn't the first time. Just over 5 years ago, around Jan. 11, 2003, their site was hacked. Links to free music were posted along with anti-RIAA information.

    I have a mirror of the whole site but there's no way I'm posting a link here to my little server! Just Google "2003 riaa hack" - there are a few screenshots in Google images.
  • greatone172, on 01/20/2008, -1/+9SUPER OWNED!!!!
  • graemee, on 01/20/2008, -16/+7Nah, the admin just typed rm -r * .o at the root dir.

    • mundus, on 05/15/2008, -5/+15LMAO!!! Is this Chris Crocker?
    • freshgrease, on 01/20/2008, -7/+3You sound like that guy on youtube crying and whining over Britney Spears. I smell a corrupt (paid) DIGG comment injectiee.
      • dib2, on 01/20/2008, -1/+6That would be Chris Crocker.
      • nontitle, on 01/20/2008, -1/+1Well, just look at his name. (sonycam)
      • DeusExAbsurdo, on 01/21/2008, -0/+0I think somebody doesn't know how to take a joke.

  • anononon, on 01/20/2008, -5/+12EPIC WIN IS EPIC!
  • Goodanswer, on 01/20/2008, -0/+9"Let’s hope they have backups, or not."
