Post any good finds.

Best explanation I've seen why this is a big deal.

WordPress Config file being accessible is a big yikes. Gives you the destination for the DB as well as the username and password to sign into it. MySQL export and anything not using MD5 Hash is visible right away - the rest? Decrypt.

Soon as the DB has been exported, game over.

    I was thinking about this too and it’s like unless you’re using the same username/password on here as your bank, the worst that could happen is they hijack a power poster’s reputation on here and use it to influence people in some kind of negative way, which is a lot of effort for what actual benefit and also why we shouldn’t have power posters.
