Hiding/Unhiding Any New Style Message Board Post
Discovered By:
O0O, Lance and a couple others from Lithium Node
Date:
July 1997
Patched:
November 1997
The tokens to hide/unhide new style message board posts had neither a
viewrule or a roster control. This allowed them to be accessed on any
message board on AOL. It allowed any AOL account to list hidden posts and
hide/unhide posts on any New Style Message Board. This exploit was used
to take down the Beta Central message boards on Halloween, 1997.
