Odex has been hacked!
UPDATE 22/11/2007: Ops, it seems that the DNS wasn’t the one that’s compromised. The page wasn’t working for some people so I assumed it was due to slow DNS propagation, but apparently Odex has always been hosted on PacNet (ironic). The hacker gained access to the web server itself, which probably means the SQL database too. I hope whoever designed the website for Odex had the common sense to salt the md5 hashes of the user passwords.
The domain odex.com.sg was replaced with a message from an unknown hacker. The page has since been taken down. I have mirrored a copy of the page here.
This server was fully hacked because the things ODEX are doing are just completly wrong!
So I hacked them due to my deep abominate against this company.The stupidity of the organisation can not only be seen in the quality of their products or in the disingenuousness of their actions, but also in their skills of web design, compatibility and programming.
You can see that by the fact that the server is now hacked.
Now, I don’t like to stereotype, but the hacker sounds Singaporean… I guess he wasn’t quite pleased with the latest development. (Even though it turned out to be a mistake.)
The colour scheme of the page also leaves much to be desired. That said, his command of English and aesthetic sense aside, I approve of his XHTML coding. He has the proper doctype defined and he uses <br/> as required. Too bad he made a typo (</head> instead of </title>) or the page would’ve validated.
It’s good to know that some people out there care about W3C standards, although I have a feeling that this particular individual will probably be behind bars soon.

Well, it was only a matter of time before an idiot went on and attempted to hack Odex. Do these people really not see that they’re only increasing the problems?

I was laughing like mad when I saw this -_- Odex got what they deserved. Period.
However, I do pity the hacker…

Lets take bets on how long is needed for Odex to recover their site.

Sometimes I wonder how a certain sort of cracker can use all these XHTML tags and attributes perfectly without any problems, but cannot spell “completely”.

I am glad to see ODEX getting what they’ve had coming. I hope their future pages continue to be pwned/ddos’d out of commission.

“There are plenty of companies which still exist, even if their behaviour is more than wrong (Microsoft to name the worst of them).”
I’m not a big fan of Microsoft, but comparing them with Odex is just wrong. Occasionally MS does release a good product! Not everything they throw on the market is as broken as Windows ME. ^^
Joking apart, I don’t think it’s a good idea to express your by hacking a page. I wouldn’t spray graffitis on the city hall if I disagree with the mayor or his politics either.
