Miw.com.sg Security breach??

Ponders SG

hmm... i downloaded this Firefox extension which lets me know where the server is located whenever i mouse over a link...

to my surprise.... miw.com.sg is based in Semarang, Indonesia.

isn't it weird that mindef personnel website is located in a foreign country??

casshern SG

well, i guess that no classified info is in MIW so its still quite okay.

ditzy SG

Shun bian tell us where the sgforums server is located. Thanks hor. Laughing

Ponders SG

not so much about classified info lah, but rather asking a foreign country doing our admin. .. abit funny.

anyway... sg forums serves...

ditzy SG

NY, no wonder I get no lag. Laughing

charlize SG

elektra SG

Gordonator SG

how about mindef website? Laughing

kc_leung SG

Just type "geolocation" in the Search box and then tell it to search in "Extensions". It's the only search result.

The full name of the extension is "HostIP.info geolocation plugin".

kc_leung SG

OK, I swear that whatever server this location plugin gets its info from is rigged.

Just take a look at these:

www.mindef.gov.sg

www.ntu.edu.sg

Laughing

Ponders SG

I think the plugin just shows whatever the server is programmed to show.

just like "ping" in IRC.
