You'll have to move around a little by requesting either 'no frames' or 'text only'. >> Here I have to enter the discussion. The message on the site states it. This person did not do this for malicious intent. It was only to prove a point, that this site is easy to crack. Look at everything done. It can be repaired in an hour. Don't judge skill by how far you go. Judge it by the style it's done in. Web sites in general are easy to get into, and easy to change. It is actually the same principle as hacking a BBS system. You can get into a web server, and change the source code for the site. It could be worse, they could have put porno on the site. --Paul-- |
