Here’s a story sure to break your heart. A group of hackers invaded a support forum that was established by the nonprofit Epilepsy Foundation. They used JavaScript code and messages with flashing animations to assault dozens of visitors who suffer from the disorder.

The Foundation learned about the problem within 12 hours of the attack. And even though the boards were closed temporarily to get rid of the messages and animations, many readers like RyAnne Fultz, pictured here, experienced headaches and seizures before help arrived. There has to be a special place in hell for people who do this kind of thing.
