Ungrateful twits. They had a top class FREE PEN test and in-depth (free analysis). Instead of tossing $10,000 or more their way as a thanks they get PR to intimitate - even though they had advance notice. Knowingly not fixing defective product/code SHOULD be a crime, especially when holding on to false representations that it is secure.

Look at the bright side. We got a colorful name out of this move. I call it the Reverse Streisand.

A reverse streisand would be where you do everything in your power to publicize something but nobody gives a shit about it.
