The most important bit about this, to me, is that Marty, the webmaster/brother, is apparently falling down on the job.
It's quite likely that Marty is unpaid in these duties, to which I can only say that you get what you pay for. If he IS paid, then I think it's time to replace him, and reflect deeply on the negative stereotypes associated with nepotism.
My first inclination was to just email the guy and see if I could help, but reading on, he apparently maintains a staff for other purposes he considers important, and recognizes that the relative insecurity of his site impacts their livelihoods, but doesn't see security as something worth paying for.
A donation of my time in this regard would, however noble the intent, demean the profession and relative value of security analysts and companies all over the world.
- nathanb 16y agoI found this exchange in the reddit comments to be interesting: karlr42: The only way you beat crackers is to set your site up securely and maintain it. Nothing else, including this post, will help. MrWeiner: No argument here. I could explain what the issue has been, but I'd rather not do that publicly. Suffice it to say that we're doing a lot of cleaning house right now. Depending on how one interprets "cleaning house" it may be the case that Zach has in fact realized the exact point you're making.
