I think my site is more secured than those cracker-friendly sites… Is better to have a white hat hacker in my team… But yes, the first thing to do is to replace not only the “anti-virus” but the entire system to have some security versus more of the 80% of the script-kiddies and automatic cracks, and yes, my server has been hacked only once an it has more than 1234 spyders trying to get the entire site.

Having a hacker safe logo on a site is akin to sending an open invite to ever hacker under the sun, “I am hacker proof, so nyah you cant hack me!”

Nothing is unhackable!

No site is 100% safe but it really depends on the skill of the person doing the hacking, take for example this page and it’s comments form, now I myself can already see it has an expand and decrease text area. So my argument would be what if the attacker simply increased the size of the text field beyond the scope of the page’s ability to display it?

As for XSS – cross site scripting, well yes thats just nasty, but then again so is Javascript in the wrong hands!

Their is no such thing as White-Hat hackers and Black-Hat hackers, their is only Nice people and Bad people in my humble opinion!

I should just put the logo on the site for the fun of it.

Huh, that’s interesting. I always assumed that it was a worldwide service, but most of the online stores that I visit have the logo on it.

Well, that’s assuming that you know a thing or two about security.

I recently bought a new laptop for my son, first thing I did was to uninstall Mcafee and replace it with another anti-virus(NOT NORTON!) before he used it.
