It's in the link.I once started up an FTP on my home machine, forgot to password it, came back to find one and a half CDs of "babewatch" in spanned .rar archives in a new directory, and exactly 100k of oriental-sounding names with IPs in a file called 100k.txt.
And no disk space at all.

[EDIT]It's very very easy to spot. It's critical he changes the password right now.

wellthe error message I get popping up on each refresh has changed, so I guess the password has been changed by someone. Now if only Eccles would read the advice and edit their post...
edit - Judging by Eccles' lack of response, I'm guessing someone else has changed the password.

I hope they tell him what they changed it to!Although I suppose blueyonder can re-do it for him.
Just so long as it's no longer accessable by the great unwashed.

Hmm.Edited. But security via obscurity is no security at all.

i know that...and have been trying to get eccles to sort it out... but there were people on the board who didn't know and i figure we should try and be nice and minimise the hassle... people spent hours messing around in his account the other night...
