Fox News Website Unsecured

PC World magazine reports that a Fox news website, apparently running Apache on Ubuntu Server, was left unsecured by a miss-configuration in directory permissions. The flaw was discovered by the The Hacker Webzine, and was found to expose directories and a Linux script complete with user name and password to connect to an ftp service run by ZiffDavis. It’s an important reminder to ensure that your system is configured correctly.
