Security Patch for Username Hijacking Issue

Written on 03/12/07 at 11:28:19 GMT by bantychick

As you may have heard, web-app.org was recently under attack by a "Monty53 from Turkey" who managed to edit his cookie data and overtake the admin account. There is a patch to help avoid having this happen available in the Critical Updates section of our downloads here. Please apply it to your version 0.9.9.6 sites as soon as possible to preserve the integrity of your data. This issue also applies to earlier versions, but there is no patch available at this time for any other than the current version.

Apparently Monty53 has been helping On promote his WebAPP site too. Among several places, his promotion efforts have been listed at Wikipedia HERE . On has a very good ally with this Monty53.
