Surprise, many websites are not secure. Does he go around testing people's door locks to see how vulnerable they are to being picked with a basic lock pick set? Maybe knock on some doors and tell the home owners that their home contractor doesn't take security seriously enough and demonstrate how easily the standard door lock can be picked?
I could understand if he was making a business out of this, selling improved security. But this way it just looks like he's out to show people that he knows something they don't know and publicly shame them into some kind of response.

- grannyg00se 13y agoTeaching about security by looking for some basic low hanging fruit? Perhaps. But what he's also teaching is how to blame and shame, and needlessly tread into murky legal territory.
