Scott,
I'm not sure if you have seen anything about this. I'm not even sure how real it is but... It could make a very long day at work for a bunch of us if we couldn't keep sneeking off to the WIX board.

These attacks are very real, but never fear, the WIX has already been updated to protect against this.

Ran into this on the photoforum and updated at that time. Hackers and scriptkiddies suck. also checked with the monkeys and they are aware of these issues and working to resolve them.

Agreed, script kiddies suck. But to be pedantic, hackers rule(a group of them wrote the software this board runs on), it's the crackers that suck. A hacker is an enthusiast. A cracker is a person who breaks into systems.

White hat hackers rule, Black hats suck with the rest.

It's all symantics (no pun intended) though, whatever you call them, maliciouos programers suck

I couldn't agree more.
