The War on FTN goes public

**mavenfool** · 01-10-2008, 12:18 AM

Hmmm, it looks like the attack on FTN was picked up by DailyTech, a mainstream tech site with a fairly large readership. So much for FTN's web address being vaguely secret

EDIT: Some people think that linking to the article is inappropriate, so I've removed it. If you really want to read the piece, it's not that hard to find.

Was it ever secret?

Jeez, this is just unnecessary.
It's not right to do this to people; we should be encouraging sharing, and isolation.
FTN continues to do a great job at handling situations, this will not be an exception.

It's not as if FTN's address was that hard to find in the first place. Hence the use of the word *vaguely*. Posting the link to this story is hardly going to be the end of the site.

I just wanted to get people's thoughts about this being picked up by a mainstream tech site. It seems odd to me. I didn't even think that the stupid nfo was a big deal, but it's apparently become quite the story.

Actually, you can find the nfo even searching for it on google... and of course, the nfo is ALOT more explicit than this article.

Tells alot of details. If the authority gets around it, they know exactly who and where he is.
