Script kiddie attacks!
Howdy SE!
Recently someone by the alias ‘Koko’ just showed his amazing hacking skill ability to download some kiddie hacking script, and PMed it to most of us in the forum. It takes the cookies saved from SE.com (front page and forum alike) and sends them to some random site he picks them up from.
The bug the script exploits is patched, but I haven’t tested my patch in many browsers yet. So just keep an eye out, don’t read PMs from koko, and if your browser redirects you to an unknown blank page, then be sure to change your passwords for this site, log out, then log back in.
Happy SEing!

Great Leader stands fast in defense of the homeland once again! Viva Kyek!
Hm. I’d forgotten that the main site even *had* a login feature until you brought it up. No wonder I could never figure out how to post comments in here …

I’m so glad that nothing happened from it. Apparently he was a lazy wannabe-hacker.
Awesome work from everyone in helping to keep the problem from getting any bigger
