Osak:
I did some research and I've found their website and a person's opinion of it.

If you want a brief information about them, they're hackers who think that the security is bad.
Snaffle J. Bean:
This is why I use Flickr/Tinypic.
So, the hackers think security is bad? Well, for them it is.

You don't get it.
Let me explain.
These sites tell users that their site is more secure, to scare them into paying for their site instead. The hackers don't like this kind of thing and hacked their phoney security to show everyone that their security is bullstuff and they were ripping you off. They also want to take down the site.
Osak:
Why would they do this to Imageshack?
They have a #irc also:
It's called: #bantown. I'm not really sure if it's on or not, because it's from 2006.
Tom:
To gain popularity.
If you could get many hosted images to say whatever you want, you would probably do it.
