all depends on how you are passing your variables to the text file. If it is right through the broswer address bar then it is there for anyone else to see. But if it is embedded in your flash movie to post to your text file then I would say someone had to know about it from the inside. Does your server have anonymous FTP access? Maybe someone from work is just playing a joke?
POsting anything on the web isn't 100% fool proof- meaning that I can usually manipulate the backend language to append whatever I want to whatever database I want just through the browser url. Some languages even give you admin capabilities right through the browser url meaning you could sdo something like this:
http://www.yourserver.com/?comma…and voila your server would be shutdown. A lot of people don't know this is possible for some of the low-end languages or servers like WebDNA, ColdFusion, WebSTAR, etc.
