Given the aggressive response from this company, it is less likely that it will become the target of any security researchers in the future (who wants the hassle ?). That by itself makes their app less secure in the long term. Also, who'd want to support founders with this "I will destroy you!, even though you helped me improve my system" mentality ? I wouldn't be surprised if this startup dies off from this info.
Kudos to Cooper, Miles and Aditya for seeing this through.
