CoJ: exposed bills due to "malicious hack"

The thing that matters here is that he showed others how to also "hack" the system, thats a big no no in my books

And if he didn't the CoJ would still be diddling its thumbs and ignoring him :erm:

Exactly - the reason he went to MyBB was to get CoJ to pull their **** together and get the info off the public domain - even after the story broke, they still dragged their feet.

So the security was set up by an idiot, but the guy who set up the logging was a pro. Yep totally checks out.

But Richard Nene stated that no personal information of account holders was compromised.

Stop lying, and act like adults. You cannot go running off to mommy and daddy because of your own incompetence and expect them to go spank the naughty boys next door who picked up your tennis ball that you put in their yard.*

*For the slow ones, the parents are the lawyers/cops, the tennis ball is their website, the ball is their site and the yard is the internet. The naughty boys are all of you. And Google...

*spit*

Actually, we've 'paid' a number of forumites who helped us in the past. Normally with a nice fat data bundle, modem, phone, etc.

but no little sharky soft toy ... :p

So what is the going rate for fixing all of your billing systems - needing to do the maths as to whether it is worth reading all of the documentation on the 3GPP website :D

Anyway back to topic: CoJ are behaving badly because they are allowed to it is unfortunately that simple.
 
Expected behaviour from utterly incompetent people.

Shift the blame and never take any responsibility for your job.

That is quite pathetic.

They should be applauding you for finding faults in a system that they can fix it before someone with a more malicious agenda comes along and exploits the problem.

They wanted to expel me. But they could not, they threaten me and made me sign documents.

Good point. How can there be any charges of accessing private info if no info was ever compromised? :D
 
Thread necro//bump... did anything ever come of the threatened criminal case?

The case is still ongoing. No-one has been charged and I remain the "main suspect". Last year a number of ISPs have received subpoenas against users from MyBB - there was talk that CoJ wanted to prosecute some 300 people (but then there was also confusion that it was 300 charges).

There was also a "glitch" with evidence at Dimension Data (different opinions rumors: best evidence rule / chain of custody violated / authenticity)

Then there was some issue that CoJ struggled to get affidavits from their own staff and lastly there was mention that IOs tried to canvas rate-payers affected to open criminal charges to demonstrate damages occurred. Last time my legal team communicated with CCU was in August 2015 (August 2016 marks the 3-year anniversary).

If/when this case sees a court-room it will be highly embarrassing for CoJ and all the suppliers involved and it would have been honestly better if the CoJ / prosecution would just let it go and worry about more important matters.

Thanks for the update. It must be quite costly for you having to have a legal team and everything? Do you regret being the one to make the issue with their website public?
