Looks serious.

Best practice for software with an "install" directory: after installing, remove the permissions from the directory. If you need to change something, you simply set up the permissions again. Remember to remove them when you're done.

It's serious; hopefully eric is seeing this: http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/10/...-have-already-been-exploited-by-week-old-hole

That is a serious issue. I agree with you Trixter. Hopefully Eric does see this thread and read those articles, then take action.

Or maybe he already secured / removed the install directories. Then everything is ok.

All of the Vortex Media Group forums (VWVortex, The Car Lounge, etc.) just went down. I hope they didn't get hit...

Edit: Nevermind, they're back online now.

We're good.
