that's why the guys on vb.org are NEVER discussing exploits of any hack here... neither would Jelsoft on vb.com ... so why start a place for the opposite means ?!

Yes and no. I agree we shouldn't discuss what the exploits are and give any script-kiddies any information on exploits, but I think it's OK to discuss how to fix things when they are exploited. That would be valuable information to new Admins that haven't experienced that and for when and if he ever does run into that. Knowledge is never a bad thing.
