2.0.8 was most definitely vulnerable - we patched it by hand for the moment. Hopefully the TM sites will all be up to 2.0.11 by midweek.

I kick our server at least once a day to get it to stop making a clunking noises :devilboy: Not that I would recomend that to everyone you really have to know the right place to do it (if there is one).

Welcome Adam to the thoughts world :!:

Really? I misunderstood the notice then, I thought it was strictly a 2.0.10 vulnerability.

Nope. We had strong evidence to show that someone was attempting (and succeeding to an extent) to exploit it when it was nipped in the bud. It's possible it was worse in 2.0.10?

Well, there are multiple kinds of hackers. To an extent, I "hack" (code) programs out for fun -- but they're not malicious. Some people refer to the malicious kind as "crackers", but that term really hasn't stuck.

I recently hired a group of "white-hat hackers", though they actually prefer the term Samurai (definition at http://www.wordspy.com/words/samurai.asp)
