Jim Ley gets Google to fix 2 year old security hole

[Grant Wagner]

Our very own Jim Ley is famous. Or maybe I should say infamous:

I especially like the line: 'Malicious hackers could trigger the
vulnerability using a Google custom search form, or even through
a customized HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) link, by feeding
Google's servers computer script instead of an image URL,
according to the notice's author, who used the name "Jim Ley."'

Do you have a habit of using other names Jim?

:D

I have no idea, that journalist I'd even emailed a couple of times in
response to some of his questions, I have no idea quite why he decided
I might've been using a fake name...

There's still an exploit if you're using NN4 btw...

Jim.

Could be editorial policy if he only communicated with you on-line.

Maybe, I know he did talk to Paul (the Netcraft guy also mentioned in
the article)

Anyway, I've now become both an internet security expert and a
computer scientist according to the media - my CV's looking better all
the time.

Cheers,

Jim.

I dont think he ever has even made IPO.
There are no shares of him on trade.
