I am not a cracker by any definition, but I once hacked [name of Web
site deleted] with Frontpage because they had it set up with
absolutely NO PASSWORD PROTECTION at all.  Literally anyone with a
Frontpage client could go "File, Open, http:[[URL deleted]]], OK" and
be able to cause as much damage as they liked!  Unbelievable.  I even
mailed the site owner to ask their admin to fix the problem, and two
weeks later they hadn't.  I run FP server extensions on my own box,
but at least I pay some attention to security.
