FWIW: I was double checking the links to Verdite's demo thread since they seem to change on a daily basis.
I haven't updated the software on my websites in so long its a wonder they don't explode from all of the published exploits that must be floating around out there. I don't even back them up but once a year. Edited: I've made a not to remedy that now that I think my ISP is up to it. It would be nice if folks developing website software would start with a 100% seamless update scheme and branch out from there.
To be honest it says something for all the problems the hackers cause they could really cause a lot of damage if they wanted to. Most of the hacks might (might) be of some value to someone but you don't hear many stories of whole sites being wiped out or broken beyond repair. Knock on wood.
