If you have heard of the recent hacking done with the GMA News’s Website then you must know D4rkB1t. D4rkB1t is the code name of the hacker who is responsible for the GMA News’s website, Twitter and Facebook account hacking.

As per techpinas.com’s email conversation with the D4rkB1t, he found the security flaws in the website two months ago, emailed the web admin and failed to get any response. He hacked the website and accounts to make a statement. As a proof that his intentions were just to point out the security flaws, he did it a midnight so that less people would be hassled.

He claimed that it wasn’t him who posted the profanities in GMA News’s twitter account. He leaked the username and password but never twitted the malicious words. He said he has no idea who did it but is doing everything to get a hold of the person responsible for the profanity in GMA News’s tweets.

In his blogspot account, (http://d4rkb1t-1337.blogspot.com) he gave a warning to Summit Media, SPOT.ph and Manila Bulletin’s Tempo & Panorama. For Summit Media and SPOT.ph, he gave a 24 hour deadline to fix the vulnerabilities while just a warning to Tempo and Panorama.

I was browsing on my Twitter timeline and then I happen to see Demi Moore’s post regarding her current look. I clicked on the link and it led me to Fashism.

Fashism is an online social networking account which lets you post pictures about your current look; whether it is about your new outfit, makeup or a look you would want to try. It was created by Brooke Moreland intended to “...Get an unbiased opinion using that internet everyone is talking about.

How Does It Work?

All you need to do is sign up and then post pictures of your latest look, makeup or something you want to buy and you’d get unbiased opinion from the members of Fashism. Above its homepage is the Latest Looks so if someone uploads a new picture, you’d see it already and you can comment on them. Click Love it or Hate it depending on your judgment. It also averages the loves and hates on your picture so you would know the ratio of the interactions and personal opinions in your uploaded look. If you find someone whose fashion statement is to be loved, you can follow them. You can choose to have email updates regarding new comments, new replies, new follows and believe me their notification emails are motivating. Try it.

Fashism seem to be quite a hit to newbie fashionistas and abode to soon-to-be makeup gurus. If you want an unbiased opinion regarding what you’re wearing or what you would be wearing, you can post it here to get honest opinions. There aren’t a lot of members yet as per the updates I get from the Latest Looks section; though I believe this social fashion networking site will grow because it is easy to navigate and it has a simple but sophisticated layout and over-all feel.
