    There's a big difference between Having scripts on your Web page changed and having your credit card database hacked and personal identification on all your members stolen. Don't you think? Or has justification of Funpub made you blind to the facts?

    It's the main site, but people are wondering if HTS is afflicted as well. Visited HTS earlier today so did my usual scan routine as a precaution.

    What's it called? I tried finding it in the add-ons and I don't see it just Add Block. Nothings coming up for searches either.

    More than likely this was the best attempt they could do because of security. Ooh big fucking deal they altered scripts that had to be clicked on. But every bodies credit card info and personal information was safe. Shame on you hasbro for having good enough security to keep our information safe. Get fucking real boys. Hasbro did better then Target, yahoo and Funpub.

    It's called Noscript (sorry, I should have been more descriptive), the icon looks like attached screenshot.

    Just make sure that you carefully allow certain scripts otherwise you'll have a non functioning website, by default, it waits for user input but already has a blacklist of scripts it will automatically block. If you block the wrong things, don't worry you can reset and make things good again.

    The only thing I allow is the site itself, and then temporarily allow others if it doesn't function properly. I always have ads disabled and always have flash disabled not only does it save on bandwidth, but some sites think it's cool to have a gazillion videos embedded in their pages which makes it highly annoying especially if they all auto play. (you can always enable them temporary).

    Be in control of the internet, don't let it control you.

    It wasn't fine, though. Nobody could understand what he was actually saying aside from comparing this to TFCC. And no, calling someone out for bad spelling is not bullying. It's an internet forum that revolves around text communication. If you cannot be understood, you've just about eliminated the point of the forum.

    I really don't see this getting any better. Coming from a networking background the US is far behind the rest of the world when it comes to Internet Protocols. IPv4 for us and IPv6 for them. We really only have two options. Spend billions on upgrading our infrastructure to catch up with the security and protocols of the rest of the world. Or hope for sanctions against China from a united coalition of countries. But honestly I don't see either solution happening. Which is really sad because we are fresh food to a bunch of piranhas.

    That's the problem... It's been a month since the first attack and a week since the first report. And yet there is no word from Hasbro's side.

    Hasbro.com/Transformers (official Hasbro Transformers Website) is also a part of Hasbro.com. I'm not sure how it affects. Best not to visit as Barracuda Labs state.

    You really don't know what "bullying" actually is do you? No, being a dick is not bullying. God this word gets used incorrectly out of context everywhere these days!

    "Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others."

    That's a pretty formal definition there. But debate the points, not the style. Otherwise, its pointless to read your posts, bullying, dickish, or neither as they add zero to the discussion.
