Re: Hackers are discovering Swikis - smallwiki

In SmallWiki we will propose a set of possible scenario to ensure 
different level of security. Once SmallWiki will be stable in terms of 
what we think is needed we will port it to squeak. Cees already ported 
the document structures, visitor and parser/scanner for its small 
contents management system. Daniel is also using that in Garden.

 Hi all,

 it finally happened: a couple of hackers discovered that swikis are an 
 easy target. They already used three (!) of the ones I'm running to 
 store links, videos and stuff. As a consequence I will need to lock 
 all of them with a password.
 If you are running swikis on the net, either lock them or at least 
 keep a close eye on them.

 So ignoring the issue of security finally comes back to haunt us 
 (again).
