I fixed a Millionaire's website. [Updated 08/12/2011]

[Ragequit]

Hey guys, welcome to my thread.

Today I'm going to tell you a short story of how I fixed a millionaire's website.

Let us begin.

Around 2-3 months ago I was short on money, like real short; bills were coming in and due to this recession I couldn't find a job to make a living. Times were tough.

So this forced me to move my skills into whatever I could make a profit from, so I tried to develop myself within the skills of SQLi & XSS; in using this I managed to find an exploit within the website named: Minus.

The exploit I found was a persistent XSS exploit, meaning those who visited the link could be manipulated in such a way; I won't delve into detail due to hacking strictly prohibited, however I decided I would contact John Xie (young entrepreneur of 2010 runner up; or winner I can't quite remember).

I have images of our conversation;

I doubt it's any clothing, unless they asked what size you wear. Most likely going to be some cheap little stuff. But anyways, this is way cool, good job man.

RE: I fixed a Millionaire's website.

Oh well! I'm just happy I helped. I could have made a cookie-stealer and sold VIP Minus accounts. Probably be the only one-man shop to do that so they need to appreciate what I did. I will update this post with a picture when they send it; if they send it. This guys a millionaire why should he help me?

More than likely you will get like a shirt, pencil, mug, hat. stuff like that. Perhaps you will get lucky and get something better such as a ipod, or ipad.

Yes but quicker. You don't have to have an account.

Just visit Minus.com then drag and drop a picture on to the site and it'll auto upload and then right click the picture and copy image location.

You can upload anything.
