IMPORTANT --- Security Flaw in TapaTalk

[OldSchoolDSL]

If you're site is using TapaTalk, update now! There was a security flaw found in TapaTalk and they decided NOT to inform anyone or advise anyone to update their files.

I did not find out until today, when I just happen to scroll over and found a post about it.

They even publicly admit to patching it silently, but NOT issuing a release or any notice telling people they should replace their files (because they did not even bother changing the version number either).

So I can only imagine how many sites are using the other copy without knowing they have a problem. This is completely irresponsible.
