No need to berate the guy. We've all made silly mistakes before. Yes, I know that this is bad, but there's no need to send him harassing emails.

- reemrevnivek 16y agoSorry, I wasn't advocating berating the guy. There is a need to send him one email, saying "Hey, noticed you made a mistake. It's pretty public (see hackernews), and you should fix it soon. Hope that helps!" I hoped that someone would reply, saying, "Yup, I emailed him." and thus mitigate the potential flood of email. Since there was no announcement on the website to the tune of "Whoops, we made a security blunder, you'll have to do X to log in now", I assumed the guy was oblivious.
