Hackers should know how to secure their own website. Between this and the JS injection hack (from the same fellow), it's clear that security is porous at best.
As a kid I never understood why some of the kinds made it a hobby to trash the sandcastles built by the others. It was an interesting phenomenon to watch :)
Maybe they thought that if they wanted to, they can do better, but they never did.
Or maybe it's a cop-out to say that you didn't care about your sand castle's security in the first place. If you knew of a way to keep it from getting knocked over, you'd use it.
I'm sick of security. I wish we could make things without worrying about the myriad ways there are to destroy a thing?
What did xach have to gain by doing this experiment that he would have lost by emailing PG quietly, beyond the childish feeling of destroying a good thing?
