    Default Re: Website Security Vulnerability

    Mr. Knowitall, because one of the most important part of security warning is where it is. Today 99% of security problems on websites are known problems. E.g. one of the biggest picture service connected to twitter etc - it has a security vulnerability that allows a criminal to execute any procedure on their servers. Any. It means anyone can see your private pictures. The vulnerability is known for more then 2 (two!) years. There are thousands of articles about it. They just don't care.
    The website is “free” – they make living on advertising. And TOS is pretty simple – not in favor of user, or course. They are ignorant by choice. It’s not an accidental mistake. They chose not to read those general articles. That's why I see noother way to force them to patch the server.
    If you see it - feel free to share

    E.g. Google pays people if they send then a notification about security problems. They care. Many other - thsy just don't care.

    So... there's no reason except that they're not fixing the problem quickly enough to satisfy you? Or are you stating that your contact with them was to the effect of "Give me money and I'll tell you what I found," and they haven't agreed to pay you?

    Hah what money.... money. Some people (most of them, actually) don't react on email with full explanation and samples. Which is free, of course
    and - by the way - I'm not so greedy If I'd be just about money - I'd use their security problems quietly
