Legacy News #304

Ah well - it gets so boring...

Okay - the account I use now has been created by Swizzle. No hacking was included. I will care that your ring is somewhat secured with him.

What I have done against this ring so far regarding the current security holes:

- posted a reply to a personal attack using an account I created
- changing Swizzle's password while talking to him about the security problems
- changing Plix' password after talking to Swizzle who told me Plix fixed the security holes (Swizzle agreed on using Plix' account to test - new password was told to Swizzle)
- changing Plix' password again to reply to his accusations

I am honest about this. I did not want to make this a public thing, but I think someone else has decided it should be public. I have known about the problems for a while before I used them when I was personally attacked. But after that I thought it would be fair to inform Swizzle of the problems. He told me Plix would take care of that. After that we talked almost every day - Swizzle told me what Plix claimed to have fixed and I told him whether or not he did... so far the only bug Plix has fixed is one I had not known of before Swizzle told me. The problems are not only in the script itself. They are MAINLY in server administration. Whatever - I do not have a problem with the AR as such and I believe Swizzle and I get along pretty well. I have offered (in public) to tell Plix where the problems are - but he decided to delete that post. Anyway - I have never had the feeling this matter should be public. Mr.Plix obviously had a different opinion about it. So well...

Sorry about this...
