I recently coded a small PHP script that was little more than a contact form. It was one of my first PHP scripts. I was quite proud.

Then the web host that the site the PHP script was on contacted me, and informed me that spammers had hijacked the script and used it to send out 20,000 spam emails.

Whoops.

Definitely need to continue working on my coding skills, as at this point, I suck at it. And I also need to know when to outsource or simply look for a more feasible solution rather than taking the do-it-yourself approach to everything.
