This is unimaginable! We like to think of it as giving a good reason for customers to use us instead of just using Fantastico.

When you install anything with Fantastico, you are making it possible for hackers to take over your installation. You are doing a major disservice to your customers by offering them that discount if you are going to use Fantastico to install their software in the first place. Now if you install using the manual method anyway, you are being very kind to your customers. Fantastico does one thing that makes it WAY too insecure to be used to install anything important. It uses the same database username and database name for every installation. This, coupled with the fact that way to many users choose very easy to remember passwords and this is just asking hackers to take over that installation. I offer a free report on how to fix the vulnerability on my website. Thanks, Micheal Savoie Fantastico makes installations easy… for hackers.
