"While browsing around the Fox News websit (http://www.whitedust.net/news/3990/Fox_News)e, I found that directory indexes are turned on. So, I started following the tree up, until I got to /admin. Eventually, I found my way into /admin/xml_parser/zdnet/, in which, there is a shell script. Seeing as it's a shell script, and I use Linux, I took a peek. Inside, is a username and password to an FTP. So, of course, I tried to login. The result? Epic fail on Fox's part. And seriously, what kind of password is T1me Out. This is just pathetic."
It's already been changed of course, but that's still pretty amusing.

I wouldn'tve told anybody and ended up figuring out how to make a frontpage news article about something COMPLETELY WRONG.

Ironically Omega, if you make their homepage out of something completely wrong, them being Fox, you'll get it completely right.
