Hello, Do you have any source details on this? I have not heard of this before, and any color you can offer is helpful.

It does not look like any of Mercury's partners have issued a recent patch/fix for anything like this.

Google tells me nothing, I'm going to guess this isn't real wide spread....

The only 'ASCII hack' appears to be the letters on this page.

I haven't heard anything on this and I track quite a few cases on the hacking side of access control and credentials.
