(I'm not sure whether that's been officially confirmed yet, but it was the initial hypothesis behind a recent event in Cataluña which led to the guy on the ground being hospitalised).

Reminds me of a smallish forum I used to visit in the early 00's that used Ultimate Bulletin Board (a fairly popular piece of forum software at the time). While you could easily enable or disable html in posts, it did zero sanitation of thread titles or usernames, and the only way it limited the size of either was through the maxlength property of the input field. Once you edited that out of the html, you could do anything. Long story short, the owners were basically absent and not interested in improving the code, and once we all got bored of griefing the everloving f*ck out of the place, we started enhancing the site ourselves (think cornifying, but with pokemon). Then someone discovered that you could easily hack into the admin functions because the file with the user data was just a csv file and the delimiter character wasn't filtered from new usernames.
Anyway, I don't post much to begin with, but this new Discourse thing seems to be catastrophically bad

RE: Right or wrong, it's rape
There was no such custom in Mahabharata. Kunti was very much living after her husband Pandu died. The custom of Sati was praticed by very few groups of people pre-British rule. Also this person was responsible for bringing an end to that custom.
@boomzilla said:
I don't normally follow news out of India, but it does seem like a bone fide rape culture, from stuff I've seen over the last few months.
Right or wrong, colonialism brought Sir Charles Napier to India:
@Sir Charles Napier said:Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs."
Too bad that didn't make more of an impression.

I don't know what you were pasting it from, but it wouldn't let me paste directly from KeePass, had to paste it into gedit first, than copy it from gedit to Chrome. I assumed it's some security feature in KeePass but at this point, who knows.

RE: Adventures of Sharky! - Cheaper is not always better or cheaper.
The only thing I can say in your case is "Do not hire cheap offshore vendors". Hire people who have global experience. Insist on one person to be at onsite at all times or better still go offshore and get yourself acquainted with the people.
I can only assure you that things will be much different after that situation. The trouble is most offshore team is having people fresh out of college like me. Well like I was 4 years ago. Then it is a time consuming process. The person is try to learn 3 things at once and with so many distractions like "Thedailywtf", "Facebook", "Google Chat". "WhatsApp", it gets tricky for him or her to focus on work. A more mature fellow is what you want.

That is why all code shipped from offshore must be reviewed by someone with brains. I have heard of one case where the developer decided to put his own "spam mail server" in a java class. Luckily he was prevented from actually using that class, because the client had some bright guys in the server room.
This is part of why I stopped working with places that off-shore. I'm sure there are plenty of great Indian engineers, but the system is not set up to work that way. Instead, it's people trying to replace one $200k engineer with 10 $20k off-shored engineers and it does not work. Then I get stuck managing twenty off-shored developers who I'm having to baby-step through how to write a class or use a debugger over a crappy phone connection or Skype, which is like a crappy HD phone connection.
Three weeks later those 20 people, under my constant supervision, have managed to string together something to handle a task that I could have written in, no joke, 3 hours. And the code is a mess, riddled with bugs and security holes and just a fundamental misunderstanding of how core language features are used.
Off-shoring software development is the worst kind of false economy.

Adventures of Sharky! - Cheaper is not always better or cheaper.
http://m.blogs.computerworld.com/security/23898/how-save-money-it-credit-card-edition
<quote>Consulting outfit takes on the job of setting up an e-commerce system for a local manufacturer with nationwide sales, says a pilot fish on the scene.
"We produced a custom-made e-commerce site, working in conjunction with the company's bank to ensure compliance with the PCI credit and debit card security standards," fish says.
"But after the project was put into production, the client contacted us and advised that they would no longer require our assistance in maintaining the e-commerce system, and requested the root access information for the server."
Turns out the manufacturer has been contacted by an overseas-based company -- one that fish has never heard of -- with an offer to manage the site for a fraction of the already modest fee that fish's company charges.
Fish advises the client of the risks involved in providing an unknown overseas company with root access to any server, let alone an e-commerce site that handles credit card payments. If anything happens that violates state or federal laws, the client would be liable, fish points out.
But the client is adamant. Fish's company turns over the root access codes and transfers full control of the server over to the client.
"We didn't hear anything further for a few months," says fish. "Then we were contacted by the client's bank, asking if we were still managing the site for them. We advised that we weren't, and asked why the bank was asking."
It seems for the past few months the bank has been dealing with a large number of payment disputes from the manufacturer's customers, who say they've been billed for unauthorized credit card use overseas in countries they've never visited.
Fish suggests the bank contact the manufacturer -- and less than an hour later, the ex-client is asking if fish's people can look into what happened.
They log into the server -- which turns out to be easy, because none of the access credentials have been changed since the handoff -- and discover that some code has been added to the e-commerce application.
The code isn't for conventional e-commerce features or monitoring. It just sends a copy of all credit card information to a remote IP address registered in Russia.
"We took the server offline, invalidated all pending transactions, cleared out all credit card information and provided the ex-client and the bank with a report on what had occurred," fish says.
"Our ex-client has since paid somewhere around $10 million in fines and compensation to the government and to their customers, and the bank has blacklisted them from ever using the bank's credit card gateway again.
"We did tell them it was a bad idea, didn't we?"
