Maybe we should help them instead of attacking? What you think TenthofMarch? Advertlets of Nuffnang, it doesn't matter now. They are new but at least they are Asia's first two. It's a win win situation I see here, if they can improve from blogger's suggestions and findings. I guess we should stop here. Maybe we should help them instead of attacking?

If I just say "IP is the same" again, then 'boring' right? I was looking for 3 factors. now 2 out of 3 is confirmed. I'm still waiting for the 3rd one. But the 3rd factor is not so 'strong' because it's more common. So the 2 should be enough already. @mooiness

Oh man. Will the hilarity never end? :D "Amateur" - at least they'd chosen a most appropriate alias this time. More spoofing?!!? Oh man. Will the hilarity never end? :D

“Amateur” – at least they’d chosen a most appropriate alias this time.

However, since my unique visitors a day doesn't surpass their minimum requirement of 100, I had to create a 'test account' to enter into their system to review them. And I believe every single person who commented has the rights to comment and argue on all the points raised. Even though some of them are not publishers of Advertlets, they are *potential* publishers. As for some of the commenter who are tech savvy (or in the IT industry), I believe they have the rights to comment because the errors and faults done by Advertlets reflects a bad image to the IT industry in a whole. I believe the IT industry is a professional industry which has its own sets of standards that each IT person has to follow. You must remember. Advertlets are dealing with HUNDREDS (in the future THOUSANDS) of individual's sensitive personal informations such as telephone numbers, passwords, addresses and more. <strong>@Josh Lim</strong> "Amateur" posted 3 comments and logged 2 different "sets" of IP addresses. Guess what? Both of his IP addresses link to you. Of course, "ip spoofing" bla bla bla. Guess what else I found out? Both of you even use the same feedreader to access my blog, the same version even. If those comments made by "Amateur" are really from you guys, I think "irresponsible" will be the next word to use. I don't want to bring this up, but you seem to be lingering with confidence too much. In your blog, you said, <strong>"From our logs, we could see as various methods were tried"</strong>. A real hacker will NEVER leave his trace in any logs. They would have been smart enough to bypass the log files. Therefore, what you are seeing in the log files, are just amateur attempts to 'test' out your system for BASIC loopholes. So, if you're just boasting with confidence based on the log file details, I think you should stop. Most of the issues raised here should have been addressed <strong>before launching your system</strong>. Not after getting hundreds of people registered. <strong>@aw</strong> I was getting worried if I should censor it myself. Since you insist, it's my honor:-) @Unknown
