This one may not be hosted there, but it’s using wordpress CMS

Ah, I see.

Hackery is a pain in the arse.

So, yeah, they can find other sites you’ve gone on if you don’t use protection for it (and many sites refuse to acknowledge the “Tell sites I do not wish to be tracked”, because the ad companies only want schemes to cut back on advertising tracking if it won’t work.

This one may not be hosted there, but it’s using wordpress CMS. The vulns are part of the design, but each one gets “fixed”. The latest ones with, IIRC, 4.7.2.

The hack for someone’s email address being scraped was why Julian had been joe jobbed by another user.

And if you have someone’s email address, you have info to try hacking other places with. Get the webtracking image bugs uploaded to you, and you can find out which sites they may have more information on. And eventually find somewhere where their card details live and hack that with some ideas of what their password might be (if a WP site requires logins with passwords).

At least this place doesn’t require a password.But your other places can be tracked, and your email address harvested or used to brute force another attack.

WordPress has many exploits and there has been a concerted effort to hack into wordpress sites (such as this one)

This is WordPress? It doesn’t recognise my WordPress account. I though ScienceBlogs ran on some other software?

I’ve been keeping an eye on the WP hackery since it stepped up a week or so ago.

and hack into viewers’ machines from these exploits.

I’ve often wondered about direct vulnerability from a corrupted blog site. I’ve never had any problems, but then I’m behind a lot of security, so I wouldn’t really expect to.

“Despite multiple attempts, I simply could not post a response to TM.”

WordPress has many exploits and there has been a concerted effort to hack into wordpress sites (such as this one) to hack information and hack into viewers’ machines from these exploits.

This would be sufficient reason for the problems on scienceblogs.

“What will be your excuse when that does not happen?”

The same as when it was Shrub in charge.

Ignore the facts still and retain the claims.

Deniers aren’t the sharpest tool on the cheeseboard. Even when it only has cheese on it.

“There you have it – the science isn’t settled.”

Oh, so according to you, gravity is a fake and unproven.

So why aren’t you flying, dick? WHY ARE YOU IN ON THIS CONSPIRACY?!?!?!?!?

Or your claim is meaningless twaddle and you know it, but aren’t even enough of a human being to refrain from being an arsehole.

Mike #41: Now that the US government has changed presumably the big funding (ha!) will be all going to climatologists who say that climate change is not real. When do you expect NASA, NOAA and websites like RealClimate to reverse their opinions? If they are taking their stated views solely for the money, we should see big changes in the next few months. What will be your excuse when that does not happen?
