That post & user should get deleted. I'm saving it for our labstaff so they can update the server code (and whatever else might be causing the security hole).

Security by obscurity... Well, a lot of people see a sign "DONT CLICK THIS LINK" and the next thing they do is click the link. I think labstaff updated our server code last night or this morning so it should be fixed. I'll have to ask Dave about it. ID: 6575 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
