Subject: ALERT STOREFRONT HACKER
Reported By: Andy Spliehof 12/4/2003
SEE: LaGarde's newsgroup at news://storefront.support.general
or access the newsgroup via http://www.storefront.net.
This is not the first report of StoreFront security flaws. I've
discovered and reported security flaw that exposed the database
myself and I also issued a patch as LaGarde has been known to
refuse to officially acknowledge reported security flaws as was
my own personal experience.
LaGarde did finally get around to repairing the security flaw I
discovered circa StoreFront 5.04 or thereabouts but not until they
released the next version of their software.
LaGarde does not officially notify merchant customers when the
company's poor quality code fails yet Bob LaGarde has no problem
spamming customers asking them to buy more of his company's
software.
How do I know this to be true and factual?
I am a StoreFront customer and neither I nor any merchant customers
I involved with LaGarde's products has ever been notified of the
need to update due to security flaws in the code. Only spam.
Business Ethics? Bob LaGarde? Hardy Har Har.
Are you prepared to possibly lose everything you have worked for
and invested because Bob LaGarde would rather spam you than let
you know his software has failed and should be updated?
I've got a handful of similar first-hand experiences I could and
would testify to after two and one half years of hanging in there
and hoping Bob LaGarde would clean up his act not to mention the code.
First-hand accounts of being victimized myself or being involved
first-hand with merchant customers involved with LaGarde's products,
the staff and other unscrupulous developers.
It got so bad for me and others in fact that Bob LaGarde has banned
me and other victims from posting to 'his' now censored newsgroup as
he is fond of reminding 'violators' when issuing threats to sue when
someone stands up to the lies, deceit and attempts to cheat and rip-off
customers.
So for now I'll keep it simple...
BE ADVISED:
DOING BUSINESS WITH LAGARDE CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO
YOUR BUSINESS INTERESTS.
