And, to compound the offense, he leaves said pages lying around somewhere where a Google Bot can find them.

But we could, of course, make public that there is a serious security flaw with TMP so that the entire membership is made aware.

Despite the genuine laughs this thread has regularly supplied, I was kind of in agreement with the poster a few pages back who said they thought it had now run it's course. Mac's revelation as to the pitiful lack of security on TMP shows again why it has to continue. Well done guys (and gals and anyone else spread across the gender spectrum).

Hopefully Katie will pop in at some point to give us an informed view as to the legalities of the situation.

Yes, it really would!

So wrong it would be so right?

I'm not really advocating that, but yeah, it would be HILARIOUS! Imagine the outrage!

Angel Barracks not Mac!
Seeing as we have a few ex advertisers here, I wonder if any of them would care to see if they can still access their old advertising reports and see if their passwords are displayed in the webpage address?
And one of those advertisers on Google really needs to rethink their password choice!

Oops, sorry AB!
