Title: Will the Road have to close so that the quick buy/shipping issues can be fixed?
Post by: etro1 on December 18, 2012, 07:04 pm
I noticed some apparent bugs in the code I guess or a hacker has been causing this quickbuy nonsense as well as making it more difficult to find a listing where the correct shipping option is listed. As a buyer, can anyone who is admin tell me if they plan to close the road to fix this, and if so, when, so I and others can prepare?
Thanks and drugs!

while i'm not an admin, i can guarantee that at some point the road will go down to fix this issue.  since it's an injection attack, there is some code that has been saved into the database.  most likely they will take the site down, implement whatever updates/fixes that are necessary to the server so it can't be hacked again in the same manner, then implement a backup from before the attack... MAYBE

let's just hope that the exploit used is known and there is a fix for it.
