PlentyofFish Hacked, Founder Emails Hacker's Mom

Posted by Soulskill on from the that'd-probably-stop-a-lot-of-hackers-actually dept.

hellkyng writes "The online dating site PlentyofFish was hacked, and purportedly 30 million customer records were stolen. The site's founder, Markus Frind, is blaming the security researcher who discovered the vulnerability and the journalist who confirmed the issue." The researcher who reported the vulnerability is Chris Russo, one of the guys who hacked The Pirate Bay last year. He explained his side of the story as well. Mr. Frind says he tracked down Russo's Facebook page and emailed his mom.

  1. Sorry to hear that your grammar died. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Here is an *incomplete* list of corrections:

    "Not surprised that site got hacked and is full of incompetent developers and people."
    should be:
    "I'm not surprised that the site got hacked, and is run by incompetent developers and people."
    ---
    "If you go there every other sentence has some huge grammatical error in it."
    should be:
    "Every other sentence on the site contains a huge grammatical error."
    (I'm guessing that you didn't really mean that the grammatical errors are conditional, and only appear when you go to the site.)

    "The design is horrible too."
    should be:
    "The design is horrible, too."
    ---
    "Get for real."
    I believe the phrase you're looking for is:
    "Get real."

    "I thought it was funny that the sentence 'there is a serial killer murdering people from the website' was said all non-nonchalantly in the article."
    should be:
    "I think it's funny that he so nonchalantly wrote, "... there was a serial killer, murdering people from the website."
    or probably more appropriately, leave the quote out:
    "I think it's funny that he so nonchalantly mentioned that there was a serial killer murdering his users."
