Wow - That's completely mind blowing - I will never feel guilty for harping about the 80/20 rule ever again.

Not finished reading yet, but wow... Enlightening. I had no idea that people are still using such poor security. SQL injection? Wow. That's unreal that they got hit by that.

Reminds me of this:

Security companies that get hacked by SQL injection deserve it.

Ah, reading through the various ArsTechnica articles on the whole deal has been a lot of fun - I've been laughing out loud quite a few times. The HBGary people are (hopefully!) going to end up in a lot of trouble, might even have their lives destroyed. But considering how big slimy pieces of scum they are, which is apparent if you dig even superficially into this whole deal, they really deserve it.
