This coder decided to take what's been labeled a "nuclear revenge." It sounds like their ex-employer was a nightmare. Apparently, they refused to pay the coder when they went to leave the job, and followed up that refusal with trying to spread a bad and false reputation about them. No good!

    Text - You pay for it, one way or another... Greetings.. Normally this was not even a subreddit I followed but a certain youtuber entertained me a lot by reading a few select posts from this one. Our story is from years ago... I used to work for some kind of full-stack agency as a coder; doing websites, desktop applications and integrations for customers.

After managing to provide an important customer with five-stars hotels all around my country with a great website with integration to their ERP and also mobile solutions which didn't exist then in my country, a headhunter had found me. He offered nearly triple the salary I was getting and it was impossible to say "no" to that. I informed my employer, gave him a generous notice of a month so I could wrap up the last projects.

    Text - Text - Let me warn you that I was a very young and incredibly trusting person then. When my employer told me there was some problems and l'd have to receive my last salary with the next one, I accepted. Last day of my job, when he asked me to sign the paper that declares I had nothing indebted to me by that company I signed it. I was a moron. I was young. They never paid of course. Even though being stiffed that way was a lump in my throat, I tried to gulp it down. I worked hard at my new

    Text - But another sneak attack from my ex-employers was... the last drop. One day I arrived at the job, my new employer called me to his room. He explained that my ex-employer reached to him and told him that I was lazy, a liar, worthless and it wasn't worth the effort to have me as an employee because they were about to sue me so I wouldn't be able to do any work with all the legal stuff. I was beet red. I apologized for being a nuisance and I said l'd clear my desk instantly. He laughed cheer

I just couldn't.. I couldn't? That's the day I fired up google and typed "how to hack" for the first time in my life. The first response was a forum in my native language. I started reading and gosh, I had a lot to read. Coding and hacking are, even though they share the same expertise, vary so much when it c

    Text - Text - As I said I was young and a moron. Back then I had my own mini admin framework that used in every website I made and I just realized there was a crucial mistake I made in calls to create new records; users, pages, news items, galleries, everything... I wasn't checking the authorization at all.. It would nearing impossible for a hacker to use this because he wouldn't know or get exposed to the exact call but I knew it.

    Text - It was about six am when I finished reading. I used public transportation to go to the other end of the city. I found an internet cafè where the young attendant didn't care about IDs and which didn't have any security cameras. I sat in a corner and started breaking every single website I made for them. There was one about pastry materials, a website consisting of over a thousand ingredients. In the main page a random assortment from each ingredient type would be shown as a gallery. I repl

    Text - I made the chief physician of a hospital page the angel of death itself, with images and a special bio. People don't look into physician bio pages so I was sure it wouldn't be found out for long. I made an announcement in ultra-nationalist party A's website that their number one enemy would be giving a speech. In a local newspaper page I made all old videos instead link to the famous "loituma" video where an anime girl spins a leek in her hand.

    Text - Slowly, a few websites a day, I broke every single website I made for them; approximately 60 websites or so. The backlash from customers seems to have been furious, in a domino effect. He lost his customers' trust and his references which simply means everything for this kind of job.

    Text - Text - Once the proud owner of one of the best agents in the region now tries to work in a tiny office making a living doing third-rate websites with his meager skill. Even though I never met him during this period, one of my friends was working under him until the last moment. I loved listening to his struggle to find out how I did it - they knew I did it, they just had no way of proving it - while losing more and more customers every day from my friend. I don't know if this suits the ph
