Any other image-uploading sites affected? So far I've only used imageshack, so with half my images being hijacked with this, it's going to take me a whole day to reupload onto another site and replace the images on my blog...

Hopefully the imageshack crew will manage to fix it themselves

If they actually wanted to get across to people they should narrow down their huge essay there to like two sentences or less so people actually care to read it. ;o
|
hope too.... why are they doing that....
|
Is this against Imageshack forcing ads onto images?
I'm not sure I understand what they're trying to do here.

I think they're talking about how imageshack's security is bad, so they are proving that by hijacking the images...
ffs
I have to replace like 7 months of my blog's images

i'm not a computer science person in any way, but isn't this just laughably misguided? doesn't disclosure encourage the actual creation of fixes and distribution of them on a larger scale than otherwise? sure, it allows for malicious usage, but that would exist either way, and would be more effective if there was no disclosure
i don't know what that bit about money is all about, but this just seems immature
correct me if i am wrong, my degrees are in english :D

i just got this too, googled the anti-sec movement, and got this thread.

I wouldn't use a site like Imageshack to host any image intended to last longer than an IRC session.

Jesus I hate self righteous idiots who think they can pull shit like this off because "they are in the right so its ok to fuck with millions of photos". God I hate these people.
|
Hahaha, this is just another thing to put on my list of "REASONS NOT TO USE IMAGESHACK". Seriously there are hundreds.
Use photobucket people.
|
TLDR version: Security companies distribute exploits,etc so that they can get more people to buy their own security software, thus making more $$. These guys are attempting to break the cycle by disrupting anything that supports this cycle
|
everything on photobucket is fine
|
yeah imageshack is terrible anyways.
pretty good advertising for photobucket if nothing else.
|
big companies expoiting to make $$
whats new?
|
Also reminds me of the time when someone told me antivirus companies sued microsoft for making some changes to the windows kernel that would prevent most viruses from executing. Dunno if its true or not.
This approach(hijacking imageshack) is not going to work imo.
