The hacked websites were built and hosted by Texas web development firm Netsentiel. They're written in ASPNET/VBScript and running on Windows servers. They all run the same custom, insecure CMS, which is likely why they all got hacked with their data exfiltrated

The unhinged Bay Area lawyer apparently isn't suspected of radicalization/extremism (even though he's clearly a right-wing extremist), but the polite college student is.
