How to play with faces on the FBI website

Miercuri, 9 ianuarie 2008, 20:42 English | Top News

A technical vulnerability of the FBIjobs.gov website allows users to play and have friends, rivals or personalities figure as one of the "most wanted" people looked for by the FBI. A cowboy-looking President of Romania, Traian Basescu, has already landed on the FBI website, funny-face accompanied by a text that calls him "the Tony Soprano of Romania".

Romanian blogs have made the image of Basescu as an FBI most wanted hugely popular. The picture was apparently posted by a Romanian user known as Beranger who found details about the website vulnerability on the Villatux blog.

It's rather simple to place any photo on the website: once the HTML code of a picture is used in the search box, the code is included in the search results page.
