    I was the one that raised the issue of how this was handled by the op.

    Note, the information is valuable, I do not think anyone is disputing that. I took it from the standpoint of making sure of having individual username/passwords for sites. I even thanked the op for the info.
    How technically accurate the perceived vulnerability is.... I don't know don't care.

    Now comes the point...
    I made reference to something being left unsecured, unknowingly or otherwise, and instead of alerting the owner first and foremost a general broadcast is made in the guise of being "helpful".

    Can you imagine persons now that didn't bother to even check the security of shopinja getting curious and doing what the average script kiddy does "Mek mi go try it!!".
    How is this helpful to the owner of that site or the persons who have not been able to change their passwords in time.
    Firs't steps of a whitehat is to alert the site owners then escalate or move on, not expose to john public and create widespread panic and spreading of fudd.

    Be responsible for what you post.

    I agree pezz. 100% agree.
    I also believe as a user of this site, me being helpful is contacting said owners first if I see an issue like this.
    Thats just me though...

    The site now is currently running on Free Forum software that was not written by me, so if it comes with flaws then I would have to use another or use it as is.

    The issue that the original poster outlined is not detrimental based on the nature of my site or TechJamaica, it's a flaw none the less and it would be good to patch it.

    I'm basically running a taxi and driving an older car without air bags and he is telling me that I need airbags.. the fact that I don't have airbags is not due to me but due to how I got the car.. so I either upgrade car or try to retrofit airbags..

    Anyway Blahh........ let me stop posting ignorant and fool-fool things lol

    It is still your fault. No one forced you to buy it.

    And airbag not equal security so I dont get the comparison either.

    A better comparison would be buying a car without alarm.

    haha ... i havent been on TJ in years and just decided to come check it out tonite and i buck up on this thread, dwl. It's good to see that Mr 'GPRS' is upgrading to '4G', but why you being so defensive? u couldve said that in your first reply.

    a thief will take a honda if he sees the door open since the ferrari he really wants to steal is too secure, and while he couldve tried to steal the honda with the alarm, the one with the door left open will be way easier.

    anyway i really dont know much about these things, u guys are the smart ones, but remember that attitude is important.

    TJ still rules

    Wasn't said in first reply because based on how the site is now and what it offers having https wouldn't really give most users are better sense of security.. (My Opinion)

    Based on the direction the site is going https will be needed.

    If both car doors left open which one theif gonna take??
