Damn I didn't know SlickCash was so cool...

Sebastian Sands 07-14-2008 02:49 PM

honesty always wins

Shap 07-14-2008 02:51 PM

Damn no facebook for 10 years. That sucks. I'd pay another 500k to avoid that :1orglaugh

Robbie 07-14-2008 02:53 PM

Wow! I'd like to get paid a half-million for every time somebody tries a brute force attack on my password file. I'd make 50 million a day everyday.

Linguist 07-14-2008 02:53 PM

It said tried to access the site over 200,000 times - I wonder if they were harvesting the data or actually trying to hack the servers. If they were harvesting it then ouch, that's brutal.

GTS Mark 07-14-2008 02:55 PM

That's a lot of cake :(

Evil E 07-14-2008 03:06 PM

Well they did it from their offices and one employee's home, so it was pretty easy to trace back...

JamesK 07-14-2008 03:08 PM

They hacked it? Anyone got more details?

Evil E 07-14-2008 03:12 PM

I don't remember the story really but my guess is that they were data mining some profiles like Linguist is saying and that from the TOS of facebook that would possibly considered "hacking" or "unauthorized use".

the defendants attempted to access Facebook’s servers at least 200,000 times.

Nice to know SlickCash is such a standup company run by standup bros.

I'd like to read that news from another source.

A more reliable one.

So I give it about 3 weeks SLick Cash closes down and 2 months after that the operators make a new program for you all to fall in love with again.
