Actually, Tracy, it's not "that easy" to hack, as it is to take advantage of sites that basically fail to lock their doors!
Part of our job is to 'inspect' IT before it goes on line and every three years. It's amazing how many just simply are not patched or their anti-virus not updated.
Now . . . what is the status of YOUR computer, Ms/Mr reader? :wink

Jax is right on the money.
I can't really tell by the site's current state but it looks to me like they were using an old (vulnerable) version of a content management system like wordpress or PHP nuke. The vulnerability that was exploited here is a pretty old one. I haven't seen that technique used in awhile.
What was on the site before it got hacked?
i'm not sure pointing to a bunch of /b/tards with too much time on their hands as heroes is all that accurate
their raids aren't always so noble
not real sure what they were using, but looking at wayback machine shows
