The news (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4677527) currently on top in HN is a fake one. It was an old FBI hack by CyberZeist that happened in June 2012. Here's the real news url:

And here's the original url of the hack details:

It seems someone simply copy-pasted the old stuff to make it look like a new hack by THA, (or may be they themselves did it for publicity?).

I've been a web developer for a long time but I'm still stuck with this one big question. I really love PHP, esp. its fast overall development and deployment cycle. But people I meet have been arguing with me to switch to Python, which I'm yet unsure of. I remember having seen somewhere that Python is even less efficient performance wise. So why should I (if at all) move to Python?
