Wow, quite a story...
Have a a lot similar ones, also related to music, but I was already into Psytrance, so they're all related to Psytrance, lol ๐. It was sort of like the vibe back then, everyone found out things on their own, either through digging around or stumbling intentionally or unintentionally.
I know most Russians do... I don't (not Russian BTW), I write them in English even if I currently have no reason to suspect that anyone except locals will look at or use that code. I just believe in people having less trouble, in general, things to be as readable as possible and easy to understand as possible. I avoid writing paragraphs though and only do it if there is a very good reason to do so.
And why is this marked as NSFW ๐คจ?
There are other ways to point out a problem. What this person did could have been done as a POC, discussed privately with IA and published publicly later on, when the problem was patched.
This was deliberate and probably paid for.
Because no one has offered any money regarding that.
Yes, and IA was super prompt at patching that, because they have such a big team, who also get paid corporate wages and get all sorts of benefits. And, of course, all of them have nothing better to do... because maintaining that infrastructure and code is a piece of cake and is super easy.
Like keeping old versions of their software for one... or source code leaked or deleted for one reason or another... and other info of course.
I use it regularly to link to source files or packages long deleted, but I still use them for one thing or another.
Because none of this was random or premeditated as in to strengthen their security.
Yeah, that pretty much says it all...
Yep, was thinking the same ๐.
Oh, that's a nice idea, I'll do that, thanks ๐.
Uuu, that's nice, I like that, I subscribed, I'll show him this later today ๐.
