We are left with only one cryptic string:
Anyo!e!howouldsacrificepo!icyforexecu!!onspeedthink!securityisacomm!ditytop!urintoasy!tem!
It is quite obvious that letters have been replaced with exclamation marks - n w l t i s o o s.
We then spent the next day trying to figure out what these letters were an anagram of. Some of our best ideas:
solwtions
solutions (misspelled)
win to loss
is not slow
its no slow
...
Next, we did some recon on ghettohackers, and looked at their website on waybackmachine and stuff. Unfortunately that was all useless.
During all this, we all had a thought in our minds: what about that last ! at the end? What is it there for?
Finally, one of us had the genius revelation that maybe the positions of the exclamation marks was relevant.
4 ! 1 ! 18 ! 11 ! 0 ! 12 ! 15 ! 7 ! 9 ! 3
The hint on twitter said that it was a-z with spaces. Assuming the 0 in the middle was a space, we guessed that 1 -> a, 2 -> b, etc.
