Considering its front page search box accepts "><iframe src="blah blah"> happily, it's not so surprising. Then that's middle England for you, standards slipping, etc.

Incompetent Telegraph staff: Take responsibility for security on your own site. Your readers might be idiots, but I can't imagine they're all accepting 'It was a third party who done it, not us' as any kind of excuse.

Also, saying 'X is very important to us' after a clear demonstration that it is not might be trendy, but it's still lying.

You can have some other fun with the Telegraph links....

For example, here's their article about the Spotify hack:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/4949044/Spotify-hacked-top-recent-hacker-stories.html

and here's the same article with a much funnier URL:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/4949044/We-copy-all-our-stories-from-El-Reg.html

I'm sure you can all think up some better URLs than me ;-)

Sorry Dennis I read the full statement over at the Maily Telegraph:

"Now hackers are rarely embraced as being friends but in this instance it's important to thank the team at hackersblog.org for bringing these issues to our attention..."

*facepalm*

Surely one of the best names in the nistory of the world...?

I bought a copy of that paper earlier (All out of the Daily Sport at Scunthorpe train station) and now feel ill... Is that Scunthorpe or was my newspaper carrying some sort of viral payload? Should I consult an undertaker?

Will I ever understand why intelligent people persist in using an operating system that is so wide open to abuse. Microsoft will never adopt the same operating ethos as Apple so why not buy the Apple in the first place rather than wish you had?
