Fair enough, although it's a much more graphic illustration of the problem actually seeing the results (rather than simply "your site isn't very secure", "your front door lock is a bit loose"). I know it made much more impact on me than it would have if I'd read an article about the possibility of it happening. Although I suspect that if he'd just mailed the username/password to Stephen that would have been example enough.
Kind of scary how many of these sites are almost certainly out there, though.
