Whats the betting the guy guessed the picture of the kit would be called FullKit2012.jpg instead of FullKit2011.jpg.

"Security Breach" for that to happen you need to have security. I bet they didn't.

Chris told the BBC he was able to take the images from a section of the site that was being worked on, finding them linked from a file within the website's source code.

Norwich need to get their own house in order before they start shouting out about all their rights and how they protect their intellectual property.

IMO If something is available via a public URL with NO authentication as long as brute force was not used you should not be able to be done for hacking.

He's done nothing wrong by viewing the source of the web page and they know it, hence why it's being dealt with 'face to face'. Classic example of non-tech people cocking up on the interwebs and thinking they know what's what.

Ha, I notice that the story is now about an apology for the clubs poor handling of the situation. If the club should be pissed off with anyone it would be their n00b web developers who were doing work on a live site and not a staging version
