Hacking

This is a concern I have, when I logged in I saw the URL and decided to try something out. I copied the URL, logged out and pasted the URL in the search engine and voila! My account was there, even though I logged out. Does anyone know anything about this?

Re: Hacking

Do you mean you were logged into it or it just showed you the page? If it just showed you the page, then that's normal and supposed to happen.
Also, shouldn't this go into Bugs and Glitches? Reporting to be moved...

Re: Hacking

The URL is-

Say your username is 1234,

type this into the web search engine
www.scratch.mit.edu/users/1234
and your account comes up

Oh, in that case, this isn't a bug, anyone can see your stuff.

Re: Hacking

Sorry, I just did it again and tried it a bit, you can still see the user's projects and all, but you can't join forums, change paswwords, etc.

Re: Hacking

Yeah, that is just viewing the user's stuff - you don't need to be logged in to do that.
