In France? I don't know. In the US, it would all depend on the terms and
conditions of the contract they have with you.
In the US it is a major crime to access other people's computer systems even
if they are left unprotected, or are misconfigured. I don't know the laws in
France, but I would stop what you're doing in the way of testing and make
sure. And whatever you do, do NOT copy any of the records to prove you had
access.
Good luck,
Ray

Hi!
Can somebody tell me if I have the right to sue my hosting company that is
keeping my SQL Server DB on one of its shared servers as I found out that
all other clients that are hosted on the same server as me have access to
my stored procedure codes and tables structures.
They can't actualy see inside all my tables I think but I can't be sure as
I could actually open one of other user's tables (just 1 in the whole DB)
to see if they set any permissions.
Isn't my sp code supposed to be protected?
And I'm not even sure what else the other users can do to my DB as I
haven't tried much to penetrate other users' property but I'm sure that a
skillful SQL Server admin can access what he wants in a DB like this.
I stored hundreds of credit cards in one of my tables (not anymore as I
hashed them) and I don't even know if they had been already stolen or not.
There should be a law against all that or am I mistaking.
Thank you.
Jenny
