I have telephoned Mozdev Group, Inc. at the telephone number in Hilton Head
Island, SC USA (listed on the site) to report this immediately. The person on
the other end of the line was somewhat rude as I tried to explain the situation,
but I think he received the message. Hopefully this will get fixed very soon!

Changing product to "mozilla.org", as this is an issue with a mozilla-related
web site/server.

September 19th is "Talk Like a Pirate Day", looks like mozdev redecorated in
honor of the occasion. In any case mozdev is a separate organization with its
own bug database, report problems there not here.

If true this wouldn't need to be confidential, the hacked site would be obvious
to anyone stopping by so hiding the bug doesn't protect anything. We use the
confidential flag to buy us time to fix security holes that people don't
otherwise know about.

Arrr. Ye scurvy dogs got me.
Who knew.

Also, mozdev isn't a mozilla.org site. It is completely independent and neither
the site content nor the site infrastructure is managed by mozilla.org.

Yes, Daniel and Asa, I am fully aware that mozdev is independent of mozilla.
That is why I stated it was mozilla "related". My only reason for reporting
anyway was because mozdev is listed as a "trusted site" in pref
xpinstall.whitelist.add in default moz installs and users install software from
this site regularly.

Geez, ye can stop beating up on me, mates.
