There was a thread today that explored the flaws of Mudcat too deeply, and some unfortunate information was revealed. I deleted the thread entirely, instead of trying to selectively delete certain messages that might be harmful. I'll e-mail a copy of the thread to Max and let him decide what to do with it, because I'll be away from my computer for most of the holidays.
The thread turned into a discussion of the security flaws that Mudcat has had in the past, and that it might have currently. We try to keep Mudcat reasonably safe and secure, but we do have flaws. I'm sorry, but I don't think it's a good idea for us to allow those flaws to be revealed to the public.
As soon as we discover flaws, we do our best to resolve them. I saw the thread as harmful to the security of Mudcat, and several other people messaged me privately to say that they agreed with me. I realize that not everyone will agree with my decision to delete the thread, but I gave it my best shot. That's all I can do.

If you wish to discuss questions about the security of Mudcat, please contact any of us privately at the following e-mail addresses:
max@mudcat.org
jeff@mudcat.org
joe@mudcat.org
