- ccanni1028, on 10/12/2007, -20/+313That one just links to the Netscape signin page. This one actually has information on it.
Don't call "dupe" unless the original has more information. Because you posted that, I just tagged the original as lame. - jakefloyd, on 10/12/2007, -10/+186Wow, Netscape is a great news site, with "Lance Bass: I'm Gay" being one of the top voted stories.
- dickeytk, on 10/12/2007, -8/+142I liked when it first started and the biggest story on netscape was how netscape copied digg
- sundancekid503, on 10/12/2007, -11/+109Netscape will easily fail on it's own. A childish attack like this will probably have a backwards affect of making it more popular, while making Digg users look like rabid adolescent fanboys.
- quasipalm, on 10/12/2007, -17/+101Am i the only one that finds all this Digg news on Digg a little distasteful?
It's like picking up the New York Times and reading the front pages stories: "LA TIMES HACKED ROFL!" "Why FOX is the suxorz" "NYTIMES is the bestest: 100 reasons why we're cool." "Why you read this paper: because it's so cool" "Our editor sounds off on the competition"
I don't come here to read about digg. I come here to read about what's happening in tech. - dharm, on 10/12/2007, -14/+86did anyone else just find that comment lame?
- Phantom76, on 10/12/2007, -6/+74Seems like the only way to drive some traffic to the netscape site is to feature it on the frontpage of digg.
- cwl157, on 10/12/2007, -44/+105yea i agree with zanky really uncalled for digg is better and everyone (here at least) should know that and if you truely know digg is better than there is no reason to do stupid things like this
- eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -7/+48*sigh*
It's not like I did anything illegal. I just submitted a story. It's not my fault that there is a cross site scripting vulnerability; my story should never have been able to go through. I even sent them five messages about it over the past week, which they ignored, and posted a couple news items about it, which they deleted, before I decided to submit the cuteness story. A friend provided the text for the alerts. I apologize that this has gotten out of hand, but they have had ample warning. I mean, AMPLE warning: http://packetstormsecurity.org/0606-exploits/netscapeXSS.txt - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+48Ouch. Now the inference here is going to be that someone from Digg did it. This is NOT a good way to do business guys, and it speaks volumes about the maturity level of whoever did it.
That said...... Netscape can BLOW ME. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+50That's the type of stuff you get with Netscape news....
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+45Digg-army attacks once again...
- eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -6/+41Jesus. People don't listen, or read comments. It was me. I did it. C'est moi, etc.
This was in response to my having reported the month and a half old vulnerability to Netscape over a week ago. They ignored me. I reported it again, multiple times; they continued to ignore. I posted a few stories on their site, which made it to the front page and were deleted. I made the decision, in response to the recent Rose/Calacanis debacle, to add a benign script to the site that everyone would see and recognize as a compromise of security because this vulnerability is serious and they were not taking it as such. They had this coming; this isn't a juvenile prank, and is only marginally retaliation against Calacanis for being a twit. This is making sure their users don't get hacked too. - MasterDwarf, on 10/12/2007, -5/+40Though I am sure Kevin and the boys don't condone this, I still think its funny.
- aboutblank, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33Who is "Tom Way"?
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -20/+48Stop using my name! surely you can say more ;) And not a dupe but http://digg.com/tech_news/***** this happened when I registered a user name to try Netscape.
- mydickhertz, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34Wish that were true so they would pull your lame comment.
- TheCount, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30Why would Digg Management pull this story when Kevin is on record as saying Netscape should have waited for V3 of Digg because they'd have "more stuff to copy"?
- ryanknapper, on 10/12/2007, -7/+31"Title says it all" only describes the poster, not the article.
- Hexxagonal, on 10/12/2007, -5/+28i can't believe that they overlooked this... time to hire new programmers
- teamparadox, on 10/12/2007, -8/+31They better not pull this story its funny as hell.
**warning i do not condone hacking of any kind so please dont kill my mother** - teamparadox, on 10/12/2007, -8/+28Well considering they didnt do anything malicious and they didnt ruin the site I would say this will do more good then harm. Maybe they will patch up this hole so it cant happen again.
Back in the day people wouldnt have viewed something like this as evil. Its like a prank, but these days with all the media and everyone spouting off about how hackers are the source of all evil in the world...well you get where im going. - munkt0n, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22I saw similar earlier on today, a javascript dialog box with '*****' and 'hi to all you diggers out there'
I can't believe netscape are not filtering out javascript properly. - eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25It was public knowledge specific to that site, available on any major security site since June, and any malicious hacker could have injected code into the site that did more than throw up a couple popups. They SHOULD look stupid, because they have done a stupid thing in not fixing it, and putting all their users at risk.
- redalert, on 10/12/2007, -7/+24Any examples to back up your argument?
- masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20@theg2:
Here's a better link:
http://search.netscape.com/ns/search?query=<script>alert("MajorSecurity")</script> - mayhemt, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21Isnt digg a clone of slashdot? with mod powers to all users & stuff?
- ubergmr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17to whoever did this I'm sure Jason Calacanis would pay you to do the same thing on digg
- sych0, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21Eh, can I report the whole digg vs netscape thing as lame?
1. I really dont care
2. All youre doing is promoting netscape. Theres no such thing as bad press and youre being lead right into jasons plans - caldroun, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17Dude...Please post a description in the DESCRIPTION! Not this "title says it all". The one from an earlier post HAD info of what the link was about. I am not calling DUPE, cause I hate that, I am saying don't be in a hurry to post to get that "First Post" Feeling.
Example:
Guy 1: "Look at that Green Car"
Guy 2: "What kind of Car was that?"
Guy 1: "Dude, Title says it all." - nebari, on 10/12/2007, -13/+26@quasipalm
....I don't come here to read about digg. I come here to read about what's happening in tech.....
Of late, the goings-on with DIGG and other social-networking sites ARE what's happening and hot in tech.
Regardless, I am not a fan of the digg-related submissions and adolescent primping that's been rampant around here. - brandonking, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Wonder-Douche Powers activate!
- benabbey, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19no, not good job. You guys are fools if you think this helps digg in any way. Whoever actually did this is doing an enormous disservice to digg, and is just perfectly portraying the image of the internet being a place where people cannot be reasonable. The person who did this is a complete idiot, and is hurting the digg community terribly. Netscape is a clone, yes i know... But wow, this attack should be considered beneath us. How about we just DONT VISIT NETSCAPE! Immitation is the greatest form of flattery. Netscape will fail if it does not innovate further. SO PLEASE don't degrade the entire community by support idiotic attacks like this. Just allow netscape to fail on its own merits!
- MeltedUFO, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Look at this story on netscape when I was looking for the Pop-up
http://www.netscape.com/story/2006/07/26/the-biggest-reason-that-netscape-is-superior-to-digg/#comments
I looked around on that netscape site and it looks like everyoone on there doesn't like netscape either. The weird thing is all the stories about how digg is better than netscape make it to the Netscape front page! - benabbey, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17guys... you all need to calm down. Hacking netscape is not a good idea, and it wasn't funny. It just makes digg users look like psychotic fanboys. Just chill out and allow Netscape to fail on its own!
- Laurentvw, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14This 'thread' is again proving how bitchy some digg users are... *sigh*
And btw, I wouldn't really call it a clone, it's just a competitor. So let Netscape be there, though I don't really like it myself. - terminalpariah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I don't like these "Web 2.0" rules that Digg now follows. There's a difference between just posting the word "dupe" and "This is a dupe, here's the original." However, both posts will get dugg down.
Dupes are a *bad thing*. That's why they let you report stories as dupes in the first place. - Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17I think this will only be the first salvo against Netscape. This payment stuff is getting a lot of backlash from the tech community, and websites shouldn't mess with the tech community, especially the digg community
- JorgeGT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12you naughty boy... Digg is far more secure!
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16I'm sorry, defacing someones site IS wrong (I'll reserve evil for more serious matters...). If someone knows of a hole, they should either keep it to themselves, if they don't like the site, or report it so it can be fixed.
You'd all be spitting fire if a Netscape user had hacked digg. Wouldn't be 'a little prank' then, would it? - munkt0n, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15I took a look at the page source when it happened.

- eljaco, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15I think it more accurately speaks volumes about the type of users Digg has that Netscape/AOL will never get
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -20/+29So hacking is OK when it is against a site you don't like much? How pathetic....
- aboutblank, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14lol it was really great seeing this happen on Digg Swarm...
http://www.abouttheblank.com/random/CropperCapture[4].Bmp - poshsuicide, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13not cool, man. reflects kind of badly on digg.
- dan_s, on 10/12/2007, -10/+18While i don't believe in the idea behind Netscape's 'redesign' this kind of sophomoric crap is not worth condoning.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9It was bound to happen. Should make Diggnation interesting.
- quik22, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9wtf?
- Linkage155, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Better one: http://www.geekimages.com/pics/20060725/nshack.PNG
