Guys, as you may well know, some recent incident has put me in a very difficult, awkward and an uncomfortable situation. A situation which subsequently has forced me to take some necessary actions as I have found myself required to do so.
It is something like as I always mention in reference to the hypothetical possibility of someone posting a copyrighted material link or any software crack link, etc, and that regardless of what I actually think of such a matter (frankly, personally, I wouldn't care less in the moral perspective of the matter) still I would be required to remove such things in order to prove that the web site and its management is not actively and willingly promoting or allowing such activities, which then would be totally illegal.
(Whether we like some laws or not, as long as they remain in force and we want to remain in the clear, this is the way it goes)
But publishing Hacking Codes and saying that "possibly this guy might have used a code like this to probe the internal (secret) email accounts of the website) does not go quite well, particularly when it's seen and noted by other websites.
I am forced to take action on that individual. The site cannot be allowed to be implicated as if allowing such actions, and the management closing their eyes to it.
It is always easy and sometimes convenient for some individuals to think that they are exempt from responsibility of their own actions and only the website will suffer, they can just go somewhere else. However, things do not work like this in real life, unless the management allows them to happen and becomes a part of it, which this site and this management has no intention of closing their eyes and being a part of it by doing so.
Therefore, action has become necessary, as such an action is needed to be seen taken.
Besides, causing serious danger, concern and alarm by publishing hacking codes on Internet whether knowingly or not, which like leaving a loaded gun in a public place, there are other some very uncomfortable implications of this matter.
This is very serious. No one in the world wishes that someone has the ability to bypass their locked front door, turn off their alarm, check their drawers, look under their beds, read their notes and data at their will and mercy, then leave their home (if the homeowner is lucky in that instance).
I don’t like this feeling and knowledge that someone can actually, just as he wishes, even if it is just for fun, CAN look into your database while having a nice cup of tea, check private email accounts, access security keys…
No one likes to have the vulnerability against anyone who can at their wish can probe your PC and read and in fact may cause damage to your data and system. That's why, consumers spend billions of dollars every single year to buy security software and remove this vulnerability.
Having this possibility in your living room is not a comfortable feeling at all. No one likes to live in the mercy of another.
The feeling is just bad enough.
