SpreadFirefox Security Breached (again)

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday October 4, 2005 @02:30AM from the hate-when-that-happens dept.

Kurt writes "The hugely popular SpreadFirefox project, a Firefox community marketing site, has recently fallen victim to a security breach in their TWiki software. This breach has forced the site to shutdown until October 19th. During this time, they will be performing a rebuild of the SpreadFirefox system, to hopefully curb more security breaches."

I noticed this message yesterday. I was wondering what it was about. Where did slashdot get this info? I didn't see it on Mozila's web site yesterday.

  Actually, it's Rogers (no "d"). From Wikipedia,
  
  Twiki, a small robot, tended to express himself with the ejaculation "biddi-biddi-biddi"...
  
  OK, let's have a show of hands: how many of you guys around here do this as well?
  
  Come on...

If we can't trust them about showing correct dates, then for goodness sake, why should we believe there even WAS a security breach?
Website down for two weeks by totallygeek · 2005-10-04 03:14 · Score: 2, Funny

Can you imagine shutting your corporate website down for 2 weeks?

That would constitute vacation, something of which I have not been familiar with in some time. So, no, I cannot imagine that.

  just have to remember to post a link to your www server in a story on slashdot front page while you're setting up the tent, that way you'll have nice camp fire set up, as the server goes up in flames
