Was there ever any problem because of somone hacking? I remember there was this one time where the “ What the Community is Loving” was spammed with a project insulting the scratch team using bots I believe, does anybody remember this? Was there any other similar event?

I remember seeing a youtube video about the bots, but there hasn't been any hacks of the site yet. Users may have been hacked, but I think you are meaning the site. (Source: trust me bro)

Ever wondered why your project wasn't showing up in the search bar or on trending? Here is an explanation why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p1zLeGoXLQ

GlitchedThrough

Spamming != hacking.
That is, Scratch has not been hacked, and if they were, we’d know about it.
Furthermore, reports of hacking are over hyped as massive and overly common, which they are relatively rare.

It's not like guessing someone's password is hacking anyways…

Botting social actions isn't really a hack either

Real hacks haven't actually been committed. No one infiltrated an admin account or got into the fabric of the servers. I'd say an actual scratch hack should be like the April Fools 2012 Roblox hack, where a group of people managed to get into an admin account and starting doing whatever they pleased, like uploading a new face or making a silly announcement like “orange is better than red” or something like that. If a real hack happened, we'd at least give it a name.
