What a dick move. Did these idiots actually publish their names in relation to this? Coming from "security experts" this is the most unprofessional thing I've ever seen.

It's possible that the names published discovered the issues but didn't create the dickish website.

Absolutely. Especially taking over phpfog.com and their twitter account. All of the folks on that list (http://elliotspeck.com/ http://elliotspeck.com/, http://johnduhart.me/ http://johnduhart.me/) seem to be just teenagers though.

A mirror of the code dump (referred to in a tweet linked in this discussion) is hosted on a 16 webdev from Australia... Atleast they were kind enough to remove all API keys and passwords from the code dump.

  Actually, I don't know if they did. If you check the config dump, there are some passwords left. This can't be legal.

From their bios, they appear to be sixteen-year-olds.

Please don't put these guys in the same basket as security experts. They are by no means experts, from the looks of it they are just doing it for the lulz at this point...

Astonishingly classless and mean-spirited. Especially this part: "feel free to harass the staff in their support forums..." The founder and CEO of PHP Fog is extremely active in their support forum. He provides lightning fast responses, and is really proactive at trying to help. I mentioned that my app was undergoing a traffic spike, and he personally on his own initiative ran some tests to help me understand how to deal with the load. I really feel for Lucas and the team at PHP Fog. They are awesome people, so they'll get through this. But dang, it's gotta be miserable.

  True. I was asking for a good hosting solution in Kohana forums[1], PHPFog was mentioned a few times and Lucas went there to offer us direct access (skip the invite-friends part). He is indeed very active and kind. [1] http://forum.kohanaframework.org/discussion/8452/need-help-with-hosting/#Item_32 http://forum.kohanaframework.org/discussion/8452/need-help-w...
