I can't help but feeling that some warning should be sent to some of the sites vulnerable to this.

I know the concept is known, but even clicking the google search link provided in the article results in multiple password files and scripts containing passwords to web administration interfaces and databases.

This is publicly available on google but giving readers the link pretty much invites them to deface the vulnerable sites.

It's the whole full disclosure issue I guess.
