Good point. Meh. Assume it's also root pass for SSH on that box?

Or, change the FTP password and email that to the ISP abuse team. Spammer is locked out.

Great post, really enjoyed following the trail along with the author. The sad part is, knowing how useless a lot of ISP's abuse@ emails are, the FTP might never be taken down this way.

Hard to imagine how they arrived at the total cost of €1,400 - what about the hours of work that went into the web app and iPhone app, and all the visual design? Are they calculating their hourly rate as insignificant?

Product looks good, but this €1,400 figure is meaningless.

So true. I have never, ever taken a job I knew how to do (fully). I blagged it, and learned it all on the job.

Just total nonsense which makes no mention of either general inflation or the price-deflation of consumer electronics. My parents saved up to buy my Spectrum when I was a kid. Now, a parent could get a laptop off eBay for $50 and install Linux. Computers are WAY cheaper now than they were then. sigh

I'm not seeing how. This stuff is free, and a torrent would make it easier for users and reduce server load for the site.

Anyone care to leech them all and make a torrent? My corporate firewall won't allow it, or I'd be doing it now. :(

Printing ads on toilet paper could still be a tech business needing many hackers.

Enrolment, ad bidding, printing, logistics, crm, etc etc
