Notoriously, the site developer wrote his own crypto code... in PHP... which you should never do, regardless, but especially in PHP (I recall some numerical limitation having to do with bit rotation and automatically-signed numbers at the time)
- meowface 2y agoI hate PHP, but this is not a good comment.
- FactKnower69 2y agoDo you have any professional experience using PHP? I have never in my life used another web development platform that requires me to install 3rd party patches like Suhosin to get to a baseline level of security
- pmarreck 2y agoI didn't know about Suhosin but this is completely unsurprising to me. It's too bad my original comment got slammed because PHP deserves the slamming IMHO
- meowface 2y agoI completely agree PHP is a terrible language - as I said, I hate it - but your comment was still not very relevant.
- tinco 2y agoRight, but he didn't get hacked because of that, he got hacked because he's the sort of person who would make such a choice. He is just a bad developer and a bad person to have run a bank or anything significant really.
