Submission + - Photo printing website Artisan State allows access to all user-uploaded photos (blogspot.com)

fulldecent writes: Popular photo printing website Artisan State, which specializes in bound photo books mostly for wedding photos or other events, unintentionally makes all its uploaded user photos available publicly for download. This case study shows how their photos are able to be downloaded and things vendors should think about when considering security of seemingly private user content. The case study also discusses how this flaw was reported to the vendor, but unfortunately never fixed. This follows other articles on Slashdot discussing security disclosure. How do you report vulnerabilities to vendors? And do you support publishing them if they are not fixed in a reasonable time?

Submission + - NH Supreme Court hears case on anonymous sources (poynter.org)

fulldecent writes: The New Hampshire Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a lawsuit that calls into question the legal protections available to independent Web sites that cover news.

The case involves mortgage lender Implode-Explode, a Las Vegas-based site launched in 2007 that publishes stories about the meltdown of the mortgage industry. The court did not make a final decision on the case Wednesday, but one of its options could be to send the case back to the lower court for further review and litigation on specific points of law.
