He didn't have to protest, he did that because he's a bleeding heart liberal. If I was running this forum and received a subpoena I'd roll you over in the clover every single time. Mainly because I don't have a reason to make your criminal behavior become my legal battle.

But it is open-source now, so these vulnerabilities will be easy to find and fix.

I dont see the problem here. Id rather ask why your other posts that are very similar are still up (see list below). Its certainly fine to thank someone for their help, but it shouldnt be all you do.

I removed what you quoted and only checked the first page of your posts. 5 out of 20 posts are pretty much "+1" posts.

By what is written in the article it seems it was BFL requesting the information, they might be going after some employees for disclosing information while under a NDA.

lol, the neg should be removed, did VOD go in the future and predict what will happen? here is what VOD said

"Selling stolen MSDN Admin invites. They will stop working in the future. "

and did he know for sure that the accounts were stolen?

Dude, take a look at Blazr's stats history by activity. Guess what shows up? Nah, I'll tell you: Korean. Who also knows Korean, is in love with himself and BFL and held a bullshit contest? Josh Zerlan.

Now where is my cookie?

Well, I don't see why the "BFL" account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=44366) was not included in the subpoena. Am I missing something?

Edit: Anyone!?

I wonder when they will be requesting info on bcp19's alts. He's posted under:

Pokokohua!
badgerkiller
bcpokey
DaBitcoinGuy

Maybe a couple others I can't remember, but the guy just totally lost his mind (probably because of the subpoena) and revealed his latest alt account. Meh, par for the course when BFL is involved.

It is open source.

Kind of scary how they asked for all PM's mentioning BFL. I recall a while ago theymos discussed the idea of adding javascript PM encryption as a way to protect the forum from unreasonable searches and seizures. It isn't the best way to do it, as of course theymos could modify the javascript at anytime (he could even potentially be compelled to do so by law), but modifying the javascript is detectable, and messages that were sent and viewed with the unmodified javascript are still safe. It adds an extra layer of security, which should be sufficient for most PM's. It would also be very useful should BitcoinTalk's database ever get compromised... again. Anyone who has something really secret to tell should use something like PGP instead of this however.

I think we should consider adding this to the new forum software.

And you lost me

namespace App;

class App
{
	private $slim; // slim is only accessible from \App\App
	
	
	function __construct(  $slim )
	{
		$this->slim = $slim;
	}
	
	// hmm, now i want to call a slim function but have no way to do so because slim is private
	// __call() to the rescue!
	
	public function __call($name, $args = false)
	{
	
		if(method_exists($this->slim,$name)){
			if($args)
				return call_user_func_array( [$this->slim,$name] , $args);
			else
				return call_user_func( [$this->slim,$name] );
		}
		
		// if we made it here, no method exists. lets call our logger function
		
		$this->loggerr(); // notice the typo. infinite recursion results because you are recursively calling __call()
		
	}
	
	public function logger()
	{
		// something bad happened
		
		throw new \exception('potato');
	}
}

Functional programming?

The code shown above is clearly procedural programming and not spotting such a potentially obvious divide by zero error is "rookie" at best.

Plus he didn't learn from his mistake and did it again with hashie.co - he had too much in the hot wallet. His code introduced an exploit and he put too much in the hot wallet, extremely negligent on his part even if he was really hacked.
