A recent article on hacking was apparently taken without the author's permission. Or so the author says it; it has been edited without her permission.
Actualy, apparently, the banned her and posted her article- Yea, I can understand banning ppl for hack methods, but that's just mean.
I mean, yes forum posts are their property, but the actual writing belongs to the author and proper credit /w permission must be given, if not ethicaly.
Perhaps this is a hoax, but I don't like the idea :(
I don't know if they simply took the article (or if someone else sent it to them). She was banned from the forums though, quite some time before that "article" was posted though. I was very surprised, not only they posted it, but that she would forward it to them. Never thought they stole it though. My guess is that someone else sent it to them though. Still, funny how they are so anti hacking yet post an article (it was a pst really in another forum I think) by someone being the admin of one of the major "hack" sits. I get someone didn't do eanough research :)
Just in case anyone wonder, the person was Morgalis and the site diabloworld.com.
There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
