    The CodeProject forums were just hacked! :omg: I've never seen that happen before.

      Yeah, some idiot thought he was going to be cute and try to impress his friends. His "hack" was actually posted in about 20 articles and forums before he was banned and all his posts went "poof!" as they were deleted. Just another script kiddie who thinks he's better than the guy he lifted this idea from...

        It's not a hack - it's an exploit of the fact that we don't fully tidy the HTML we allow you guys to post. We do still work on a trust basis here. Happens again and I just turn off HTML tags in the forums until I can get around to adding int HtmlTidy or something. But since it's the holidays that ain't going to happen till next week.

          I guess some people just don't have anything better to do. And the Optional Answers of this weeks poll is still cluttered with HTML.

                            Thats because I have better things in life to do than sitting and thinking about an idiot who lost his brain and thinks he is a super hero trying to exploit sites rather than inform the webmaster who is doing a great job in having this community running

                                  Some guy named fbi123 hacked the Vista, Lounge, Poll, and Suggestions forum and posted the CP source code. Then he deleted everything below the message (rating, other posts and footer of the page). That's just what I saw, I'm sure he probably did more. It was mess.

                                    I kind of think that it may have accidentally been me that inspired that ***hol* to hack the site. I'm sorry. Yesterday I noticed a whole lot of vulnerabilities and was going to email you about them as soon as a got a chance. I think he may have seen me testing one of the vulnerabilities in the design/architecture. I'm really sorry, I didn't realize anyone would see that. I'll send you an email this week with an idea on how to stop all the XSS etc. (PS. I have cleaned everything I did up and I realized I could use the "preview" option to test the problems after a while so I don't think he knows about some of the major vulnerabilities) Chris... Why do you have a knife in your hand??? AAAARRRGHHHHH!!!!

                                        Chris has his IP, maybe we could give the kid a little visit?

                                        Why would you want to visit this kid? grab a friend, have a beer He doesn't need to learn that there's always someone better than him, he needs to learn that his definition of 'better' is skewed

                                          The CodeProject forums were just hacked! :omg: I've never seen that happen before.

                                          I'll probably get voted down for this, but... The guy isn't exactly an idiot as he did successfully carry out a attack...immature...yes...inappropriate...absolutely (would have been nice of you to just inform Chris or someone - maybe ask for a free t-shirt or custom CP security guru status. Much better on a resume than village idiot) To call him an idiot, is just not fair or accurate I should say... In a way...it's nice to know it's over and done with and shouldn't happen again...kinda like getting the measels or chicken pocks...or ripping a bandaid off quickly as opposed to slowly... Cheers :)

                                          It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!
