 This breach was (and not made known to the over 770,000 members to the leak of usernames, emails, passwords and IP addresses used) due to an organised smokescreen, to gain administrator access and force server switches as part of a joint cybercrimes operation, so to expose and bear evidence for prosecution upon a child-teen pornography allegation, that Abandonia's previous operators had been operating within Studentis' various student chat, and other, sites, for several years prior.The time between the leak being made public and the site "staff" and administration being unaware – coupled with several "slow lorris"-type DDOS attacks at the time, allowed for the link to be established that there was some connection between Studentis' site and the servers that hosted those that contained materials of the original investigation into allegation.This method was considered to be best approach in order to effect the server switch to one that contained the offending materials, without alerting any member involved that it was an action with intention to do so.
