And Frack.org had its fair share of attacks.
And there was a group that particularly was trying to take down Frack.
And they called themselves the Frack High Council, or PHC.
They tried to pretend to be Frack by publishing lookalike articles that pretended to expose secrets, but they weren't actually secrets.
A little war was breaking out between the corporate cybersecurity culture and the underground hacker culture.
The Frack High Council thought, if Frack publishes articles on how to hack, that it'll be used by corporations to make money, so therefore don't publish any articles at all, or publish articles that would be detrimental to the cybersecurity professionals out there who are trying to profit from it.
So have you ever looked up a tutorial online and it had some script or code or something, and that's what you needed to do?
And so you just copy and paste it into your computer, but you don't actually know what it does.
Yeah, well, if you would have tried to copy and paste this script, it had the command rm-rf, which would delete your whole hard drive.
Obviously, Frackstaff didn't put that destructive command in their magazine, but that version of the article still existed out there somewhere.

They were publishing yearly issues of Frack.
