n1nor, who in the defacement said: "I could have sworn this site was deemed unhackable," was credited by Vranesevich for cracking AntiOnline's defences - which security experts have said are usually very tight.
I'd really like to know which security experts have actually said this, no one ever seems to offer up names for this claim.
"The dedication and amount of time that you [n1nor] spent discovering and exploiting this vulnerability is as impressive as it is scary," said Vranesevich in his message.
I was under the impression it wasn't a new or ground breaking hack, just JP's sloppy code. Here is that MS school of PR rearing it's head again. Phil ISN is hosted by SecurityFocus.com --- To unsubscribe email LISTSERV () SecurityFocus com with a message body of "SIGNOFF ISN".
