So, photobucket's security is broken.
« on: October 10, 2006, 10:49:10 pm »
Do you have a photobucket account? Do you keep it password protected to keep random users from looking at your photos? Well, I'm afraid, thanks to photobucket's shabby setup, your password protection is all but useless.

http://s3.photobucket.com///albums

The photobucket root folder for every album of every photobucket user, ready to be accessed, and not requiring a password at any step of the way. Also, due to the presence of the "deleted" and "banned" sublevels there, nothing on photobucket disappears forever.

Just spreading the word for others' protection.

Sure does look like they patched it. After a lot of e-mails (and a large amount of people abusing the security flaw), photobucket immediately took care of the problem.
