Advertlets down and the vulnerability

By Mr Malique, on June 5th, 2007

advertising company down and disappoints

Advertlets.com, a Malaysia based internet advertising network is down. That’s not all. Read more about the vulnerability as spotted by a blogger.

Maybe they should give exabytes a call, one of nuffnang’s premium advertiser/sponsor.

Downtime + Angry Bloggers = Loss + Less Confidence

FYI, the “vulnerability” involving password verification mentioned by the blogger has nothing to do with password/data security. Rather, the missing feature was just one to make sure that the blogger is capable of typing their password correctly more than once. That feature has since been implemented.

In fact, several hackers tried to access our system using a variety of methods, but they were unable to.

Do you guy know for a MySQL 4/5 the concurrent database online was how many? The default setting was 200, it may support up to 1000 or more but had you face before while your database table was huge and the technology of the database was just normal database with a so-called Malaysia latest server Technology, Dual Core Xeon.

Dual Core Xeon really enough to support such community? Think about google server, this is lousy~

PS: Just comment for a known well MySQL database user, no offensive for any comment.
