Who steals my posts steals trash; 'twere something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been read by dozens;
But he that filches from me my money
Robs me of that which enriches him quite a bit,
And makes me poor indeed.

it's hacked every day, the hackers just can't think of a way to deface it that's more disgraceful than what's already there (your posts)

i assume it's because a php/mysql website without a ton of bullshit microservices has very few attack vectors and all of the low hanging fruit has been secured a long time ago. that plus the keys being in the hands of very few people make phishing/social engineering attacks very unlikely to be successful.
