Update: Netzeitung.de has responded quickly and disabled the "test" account.

Today I read a blog post by Maastrix where he posted the URL for a document preview in Netzeitung's CMS.

At the parent directory http://db1.netzeitung.de/pls/idesk, you are greeted with a "Login" link. Enter the right user / password combination (the first obvious one I tested worked) - voilà, you are in.


What can you do in the CMS?

You can see which articles are currently being edited:



... or have been published:


You can search the multimedia archives:

You can change sports results:


You can send SMS to all subscribers of Netzeitung's Premium subscription:

Oh yes, and why does Netzeitung.de want every reference to news services AP and DPA removed from the articles?


Netzeitung.de has been notified of this problem.
