It’s Not Hacking

I really wish the media accounts would stop referring to the exploit that took place on the IRS website as “hacking”. At least according to the accounts the site wasn’t hacked. Whoever did it exploited a poorly designed security structure for illegal purposes, to commit fraud. My suspicion is that the functionality in question was inherently insecure and the culprits figured that out.
