Coding errors expose hidden area of BT site
Breeches unbuttoned
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Coding errors on BT's price calculator website have left 'hidden' web areas of the site exposed.
Users visiting the call price calculator may be surprised to see the other options on their sidebar and the "you are here" section.
Options include "Cat_HiddenArea", "Cat_HiddenPlaypen" and "Topic_HiddenTest". These diverting-sounding areas actually don't contain much of interest. One page is unavailable, another contains boilerplate text in Latin and the final page "Topic_HiddenTest" gives info to BT's Digital Vault while popping up a login for staging.bt.com. We're not quite sure why.

Altogether it could be a lot worse. BT's made the coding equivalent of neglecting to zip up on leaving the bathroom.
"No significant security breaches, just bad PR and lazy web discipline", notes Reg reader Matthew Johns, who we're grateful to for passing on the tip. ®

"Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old."

speaking of badly coded pages...
what's going on with this comments page...

... that says don't run IT systems yourself, let BT do it for you. Or something along those lines according to Gordon Ramsey.
If they did this to his website, I'm sure a number of expletives might pass his lips.
