Script kiddies must have access to them, too, just going by the sheer amount of people that have been hacked. My point was that I don't think an average script kiddie could pull off the packet hack, which leads me to believe that it's not the root cause of this fiasco.
Do you understand what a hacker is? Do you somehow not equate the concept of 'hacker' and 'require a fair amount of technical knowledge'? A real hacker is not an idiot.
As to targeting; Are you going to bother robbing every piddly account you hit, or are you going to rob the big ones, and who's going to complain? The guy who misplaced his maple dana or the one who lost 20 trillion? If it were truly "targeted" all the big ones would be hit at once, not spread out over days and weeks as we've seen.
Do you believe that the majority of these hackings are completely random?
