I went out on a search to find a decent image hosting script for group use and checked out most of the ones on www.hotscripts.com. Most of the demo sites are hacked, then i read reviews, searched on here and through google... and i'd have to say at least 70% were hacked. What's the score here? Shady scripts or is free image hosting itself going down?
Probably inexperienced coders programming quick scripts to sell. File uploading is risky business to begin with, but once something is not properly sanitized or checked, attacks can become extremely malicious. Ofcoarse, alot of attacks to your scripts can be very harmful, but people can upload files and gain complete control over your server. Depending on how much of your business relies on the data there, or what they do with your server, you can come up short handed very fast.
Depends on how the code is written. Try the demo on this: http://www.free-php-scripts.net/P/Free_Image_Hosting Peace,
