| schestowitz | I used to love OpenShot. Having been a Windows Movie Maker addict once upon a time, the interface felt quite intuitive for me to use. However, due to all the bugs, I just couldn't keep using it. I am using Kdenlive now and it's a much more stable experience. Of course, I still prefer the interface of OpenShot over Kdenlive's interface but I am slowly getting a hang of it now."\" | Oct 27 05:03 |

| schestowitz | My initial guess was, when I first saw it, rogue page requests are responsible. I saw that done by Russian spiders. They basically manage to interject themselves into search results by 'tricking' the server into serving pages in a particular way. It's more like URI hacking, not an issue with the server itself, albeit the server could probably mitigate the effects. | Oct 27 05:35 |
| schestowitz | AFAIK, TR and TX (tux) never had security incidents. We saw no evidence of any. Of course a misconfig by IA is also a possibility. The effect of them storing the wrong page is minimal unless we go offline as a site. | Oct 27 05:35 |

| schestowitz | I rarely include comments of this nature inline at TR, as if to publicly bash a program on that basis alone (GitHub). | Oct 27 05:44 |
