PSA: Do NOT post bussy on the new Digitech government site [/h/programminghorror]

Hi there, good morning. Please take a seat.

Government recently released their new site "Digitech" to promote South African made digital technologies.

This site has ZERO checks for what you can upload to it, which some have begun to notice, as if you look at the "Marketplace" tab of the site, you'll see links to Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, and Pepe the Frog screaming Reee for 10 hours.

And while these are mostly harmless, it is not all that the site will allow you to upload. JS code can also be uploaded and if you click on the link it'll run. It'll just run, currently there is a broken video link that runs an alert, but once more people :marseytroublemaker: realise how bad the sites security is, they'll almost certainly start putting in more malicious code. :marseyhacker2:

The site also is not certified, meaning any information you put on it is exposed.

So yes, please go look at the site and have a laugh. But do not click any links or upload anything personal on there. :wolfwink:

Cheers.
