  I mean it does depend on the extent of the hack. But usually taking down the website, they don’t take the databases or anything

  Hacking a Social Media profile --> Tearing down a poster Hacking a Website --> defacing a facade

  If the blinds arent closed by or a window is left open by accident, some information could get out. If the doors arent locked, the attacker could get access to further information.

    They didn’t hack anything. Just your plain old DDoS attack which took the service offline for a while, nothing was (at least based on what I read) actually hacked (or cracked as old-school foks would like it to be called) or stolen.
