Here's a link to the original article (from the same author) on the platform you should actually subscribe to.

The Wired article is not based on the 404 article. This one goes into detail about the mechanics of the hack.
Big 404 fan, but "original" is misleading. "First article on this topic" is more accurate. OPs link is arguably more interesting.

Mmmm that's the stuff.
404 has a partnership with Wired. They are both great publications; I subscribe to both. So reading this work on Wired supports 404
