The source code of the hacked server does not comprise of any malicious script, according to Italian IT journalist Paolo Attivissimo. Instead, it is an animated script which also includes a link to javascript on a now-nonexistent Google Code account, masterendi, previously associated with the hacking of at least three other websites. In his blog, Attivissimo has deemed the hacker “very amateurish”.

The identity of the hacker still remains unclear.
