Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78911&edit=1 ID: 78911 Updated by: stas@php.net Reported by: oma2000 at hotmail dot com Summary: Please do not show e-mails from bug reporters in plain text in this site! Status: Open -Type: Security +Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: Y Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-04 12:27:31] oma2000 at hotmail dot com Also, if I try to change my mail to prevent it from being on a public website, this e-mail is still being shown in the "History" section of the bug report, so I really can't remove it! Please, do not show e-mail addresses in the "History" section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-04 12:25:30] oma2000 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ I just filed a bug and I just noticed my e-mail is publicly shown in plain text, just replacing "." with "dot" and "@" with "at". Do you really think such a crude way of "obfuscating" an e-mail address is going to stop spammer bots from harvesting it? The e-mail should not be visible at all to begin with! But if you absolutely need to display the e-mail address, please use a more advanced way of mail address obfuscation. Expected result: ---------------- E-mails should never be shown in a public website directly reachable from search engines. Actual result: -------------- Do not show e-mails in a public website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78911&edit=1
