While doing some research on a tool I am working on, I came across a couple minor exploits..
Displays a video that is supposed to be private.
So, if you're trying to keep your technique hidden, watch out.. otherwise, it's nothing to worry about.
It really isn't a major problem, but something I thought I'd let the community know about in case you were trying to keep something private. | | |

I took them down, but not sure that AOL or others will..
(oh, and while they are at it, maybe they will fix their RSS feed titles so they don't all start FloWrestlin - FloCasts - VIDEO TITLE .. just the video title, please???  ) | | |

I know last year I found a way to view "private" team videos through their site, but they have blocked that now. Hopefully they will fix this too.
Did you email them about this?

Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.

The problem is that the videos aren't actually secured at all where they are hosted.. If it displays where anyone can find out the title (thereby letting you know what you are looking for), the video can be grabbed and embedded.
I just did it the easy (very easy) way in the example above, however, there doesn't seem to be a simple way to really stop it completely. | | |
