I've got $10 riding on "they see the word Hacker in 'Hacker News' and start freaking out". :D

Oh, I understand the word hacker in all its culturally and context relevant forms, and you understand the word hacker, but they do not understand the word hacker. :-(

That's why we have to tell them.

If we, as hackers of the sort that inhabit hacker news, have a post like this on the frontpage and noone cares to actually write them and tell them they have a security problem that may cause them serious damage we don't deserve better.

Perhaps an anonymous email would have been safer.

Edit: But your email is very amiable and clear, so I think you're probably safe.

I think he deftly smoothed that potential problem over with the statement in parenthesis, as well as mentioning how it was posted in reddit.
