4chan Launches '$20 Bug Bounty' After Hackers Ruin moot's Day

mask.of.sanity (1228908) writes "4chan's founder Moot has launched a bug bounty for the site after it was hacked, but is offering a meager $20 in 'self-serve ad spend' for all bugs. The bounty program was launched after the website and Moot's Amazon accounts were hacked. The intrusion spelled the end for DrawQuest which was closed after Moot decided it was not worth spending money to ensure the unprofitable but popular drawing platform was secure."

So, Random Inc, you bought 4chan last week. What does it feel like to support child molesters, beastiality, rape, suicide, and other obscene acts?

I mean, their choices would be to moderate the community(in which case the community would vanish), or to acknowledge and remain laissez-faire to the fact that 4chan hosts a hoard of illegal content.

In the vast majority of cases, escaping is not the best solution to prevent a Bobby Tables attack. Instead, switch to a database API that supports prepared statements with named parameters. For example, in PHP, switch from the deprecated original MySQL extension (no prepared statements) or MySQLi (positional parameters only, variadic binding difficult) to PDO (named parameters, variadic binding easy).

Your use of "fagtards" makes me suspect you are yourself a member of the group you're criticizing.
