Brutal indeed. Not only did they expose all aspects of astalavista, they actually trashed and dropped everything.

As bad as astalavista is, is it right to reciprocate and trash their server? It seems as if the hacker sunk to their level.

Are there legal ramifications to something like this?

Uh, yeah, of course. Good luck catching them, though.
