Scamming site taken down by Hackers

Scamming site taken down by Hackers. Hundreds of kids duped into taking courses to improve grades with a promise of an ipod if they succeeded. Hackers scanned the website and did an Advanced SQL injection (manually) Blind SQli. The site was taken down in the early hours of June 21st in the wee hours of the morning. The kids and parents have been calling, writing, reporting to the States and posting complaints on the companies Facebook page to no avail. The company got their money for enrolling the kids but the kids got lessons and no ipods.
