In the post earlier this week I shared with you that I had found a security hole. I am glad I made the right decision and today I notified the company responsible for the website.

I am sure they will have the hole plugged by the end of the day.

You probably want to know which site, but I am not going to share that information.

If your an internet marketer you will know how sacred your top performing keywords, ads, and landing pages are.

This is the only competitive advantage you really have…

…and this was the data I managed to get access to.

Are you looking for easy short term cut & paste routes to riches with minimal effort? You will be disappointed and probably hate me for not sharing this information.

Trust me though – I am doing you a favour. I recommend you do it yourself. Try, test, track and scale.

No doubt this saga has not finished, but the hole is plugged tight, and the data secure.

Now back to building my business with blood sweat and tears! I know I will succeed and this way I know it was me who achieved it.

Ta

Blue or Red

We all, every single day, come across opportunities – good and bad!

Some of these opportunities tempt you to ignore your values, ignore what you stand for and believe in, and join the dark side.

An age old dilema….

Do you go for fortune & riches? Or do you do the right thing?

Yesterday, for some bizarre reason, I stumbled upon such a dilema.

And I mean stumble.

I am not a big hacker. I am not a big web 3.0 wizard, that knows lots of stuff about XML, Ajax, Javascript and other such strange names.

And I am certainly not the latest and greatest internet marketing guru that is looking to pitch his latest product.

I am just an average bloke (where have we heard that before…honest I am not working up to a big Launch)…

…doing my utmost best to learn as much as possible so that I can one day achieve my dream, which is to actually have a life!

So should I cheat to Achieve my Goals?

Thats the question…

…And deciding took me an hour or so! Not long, I know.

It was actually an easy decision to make in the end.

Would I be able to sleep and live with myself if I took the shortcut? No

Would using this information make my life easier? Certainly

But with a sour taste in my mouth.

So….

You want to know what the opportunity is?

I wont go into detail and I will inform the company involved, but basically found a security hole in one of the worlds top 250 websites.

I guess its not so much a security hole, and certainly didnt involve any illegal hacking.

But it does…

…give me access to very interesting data people would pay big $$$ for to see

What am I going to do about it?

I guess I will do the right thing. Which is to:

• Confirm that I am not going mad and validate the data
• Notify the company involved of the security hole
• Blog about the experience

So make sure you come back to check the next installment of what possibly could be a fascinating story…

Let me know in the comments what you would do!
