Let me get this straight. You would have the guy come forward and identify himself to the company in an effort to correct the situation?

That plan didn't seem to work out so well for Adrian Lamo, now did it?

Great job Mr. Poulsen and Security Focus, for allowing a venue where people feel that they can come to you to report these kinds of stupid security flaws. It helps to keep us all a little safer.
