I made no excuses.. More so I made no excuses for my Website..
I posted info as to the security SMF uses.. Millions of site use vBulletin/SMF, not just TechJA and my site...
Any website is open to hacks #Fact
No Website is Hack proof #Fact
Me making those two points drives the point that security is only as secure as you think it is.. yes some sites will be easier to hack than some but that is no justification that a site with low security will be hacked compared to a site with HIGH LEVEL SECURITY....
The guy did not say vBulletin or SMF sites.. he said TechJamaica and ShopinJA.com .. He made direct references..
The topic says: TechJamaica is unsafe to a degree..
So what is he suggesting.. that we all stop using TechJamaica until the problem (That he sees) is fixed ??
Would have made more sense to say TechJamaica is unsafe to a degree here is how to make it safer..
Ok seems i did not get my point through.
You seem to be immature. Why do i say this? You constantly continue to make little jokes and such to put me down to try and boost your ego.
The only issue here now is that you dont find what i said reason enough to run a free online vulnerability scan on your website to get more details about YOUR problem. You making reference about banks and why i didnt warn them is clearly your way of getting a ego boost from the fact that you know im right about what i said.
My post was to help those involved to make their product better which would benefit then in the long run. Is it my job to go and find you a solution? No because i did my part by making you aware of a problem.
Is that what i said?
Here is another excuse "Any website is open to hacks #Fact
No Website is Hack proof #Fact"
You havent updated your software for your site in years.#Fact
All vulnerabilities that could be avioided could be if you simply updated your software on the site.#Fact
Software update are to prevent vulnerabilities that are now preventable so the fact that its been years since an update meant you are litterally doing nothing to secure your users and their information. #Fact
The entire time youve been posting to this thread, you could have updated your software, completed a vulnerability scan on the new software and made your site safer for your users instead of being a Troll #Fact
Yes i did and i didn't have to. Its his job to take a serious look at his site and find his own solutions. If he couldn't find any he couldn't have come back here and asked us.
You see me laughing and making jokes as being immature ?? lol
I have a sense of humor.. something that many people lack..
If a make little jokes, wouldn't it be better to say I'm a joker vs saying I'm immature ?? lol
Unless of-course you think that all jokers are immature.. lol
You have no clue as the the level of maturity I have.. neither do I have a clue as to the level of maturity you have, this is a Tech-Forum, this is the internet, NEVER take things personally...
Ok, let me play your game... How does Tech Jamaica and ShopinJA fix the issues you have outlined ???
I am running the latest version of SMF 1.1.X The update to 1.1.20 was done a few months ago..
SMF still updates 1.1.x to patch many security issues.. so It would be in your best interest to do some more research before you post..
I cannot update to version 2.0 for various reasons.. I'm running lots of plugins and customs edits that wont be compatible on SMF 2.X
Do you think updating forum software from 1.1.x to 2.0 is a one 5 minute click process lol man... go do some research please.. lol
Well, this is an interesting discussion.
I've always thought that Jamaican websites (majority) don't pay security any mind because both users and owners think that there is nothing of value to be stolen by a hack. Case-in-point, the recent kerfuffle with the government website displaying people's loan information or the 'Drupageddeon' hack that brought down a couple .gov websites.
It seems things are starting to change...
1.8 Ghz Pentium 4 (OC'd.) / Intel P4 (478) Motherboard / 800MHz DDR / 256 Mb DDR RAM / 40GB Seagate / RIVA TNT2 Pro 32MB / 24X12X24 Sony CDRW+ / 18" View Sonic CRT / Windows ME Yes it will play Doom... i plan on trying Crysis 3 one of these days.
I have one question...
Did you bring this "weakness" to the attention of the site administrators before publishing your assumptions here?

With the little traffic this site gets, i was hoping the admins would see this post put their two cents in on this topic instead of just a private chat.This isnt really a weakness that just occured, the vulnerabilities have been there and its the Admins jobs to stay up to date on security.
Its not just a TechJamaica issue, i want all webmasters here to be more vigilant when it comes to securing their sites especially if they have their own servers.
Well the concept is similar to a passerby, in this case yourself, noticing that someone left their car door ajar. Instead of announcing it to the world at that moment, might have been courteous to inform said owner.
You zimmi....
Then if no response within a reasonable time you escalate the matter appropriately.
Thanks for the tip though, just another reason to create username/passwords unique to each site that you log into.

Lets mention the elephant in the room. This is a TECH forum. What i was talking about wasn't some vulnerability that i just found. I am talking about basic security measures that i shouldn't not have to had contact the owners of this site for.
In regards to your example, of a car door....If someone who owns a car that leaves it open every day and has not made an effort to lock their door, its not my responsibility to fix their neglect. What i said in my original post isnt about some backdoor i just discovered or something. Its a lack of care meaning its been this way for a long time so putting it out here will make people take notice faster.
Im here to stay and im here to make light of things that are overlooked. You guys make me smarter and i will do the same. Im done explaining myself but i do hope this helps at least one person.
