I especially like the line: 'Malicious hackers could trigger the
vulnerability using a Google custom search form, or even through
a customized HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) link, by feeding
Google's servers computer script instead of an image URL,
according to the notice's author, who used the name "Jim Ley."'

Do you have a habit of using other names Jim?

hardly the server is only running at about 5 times its normal load -
more people have probably read the http request docs than the google
exploit.

I have no idea, that journalist I'd even emailed a couple of times in
response to some of his questions, I have no idea quite why he decided
I might've been using a fake name...

There's still an exploit if you're using NN4 btw...

Jim.

Could be editorial policy if he only communicated with you on-line.
