Humans can be so {bleep}ing stupid...

That's what I was asking. :-)

I don't see why all websites aren't like that. I keep a local copy and whenever I need to make changes, I make them locally and then upload them. I tell people I know to do that but they don't listen and the only copy of their website (all that data and info and history they collected over the years) is out there sitting on the Internet, just waiting for something bad to happen. :roll:

No idea really, but my website's server log is filled with hacking attempts. If they find a vulnerability in a website, they'll probably exploit it just because they can.
