That brings me back to the year 2001, when my boss's browser history introduced Alexa to our admin page and they spidered a bunch of [delete] links. cough cough good thing it was only links from the main page to data, and not the actual data. I spent the next few days fixing several of problems that conspired to make that happen...

As in, anybody with a link to /delete could delete things? No identification/authentication/authorization needed?

Yes, I was a total n00b in 2001. But then, so was e-commerce.

and fwiw, I knew exactly how bad our security was... I kept my boss informed, but he had different priorities until Alexa "hacked" our mainpage :p
