Ms. stockaholic entered the site in Beta phase on test servers.

She entered the root directory prior to our full site launch.
Full measures are now securely in place by a third party.

AND yes, one more clip and paste....

And finally, hackers who naively believe in their right to access information, must be made aware that even harmless computer intrusions can trigger criminal sanctions. The financial stakes have risen dramatically over the past five years. Until there are more high profile hacking prosecutions, naïve hackers will continue to believe that they are invulnerable and their hacks are a form of innocent digital thrill seeking. Nevertheless, over the next few years, there will be a few hackers whose only hacking and cracking is going to be breaking rocks on a chain gang.

The end!

good question JB about security

ihub was wide open. email, stats, raw logs, every file, every document was all exposed, searchable...when I saw the business plan. I didn't mention it for a while so everyone was all over everything. They still aren't protecting much. This is just what they don't want the search engines to see http://www.investorshub.com/robots.txt Looking at this file is not hacking or cracking. After I posted ihubs stats on SI, they moved them to a password protected area. Root files are still open. Doors are still open.

I don't think you have much to worry about unless you're using PM's for confidential items. Big deal matt has your isp and ip and has given you two cookies to track you online and help you log in. Just make sure you have proper security.
