Right. So why didn't they then close the insecure access method, and deny FURTHER content requests?

Because some people don't care about people with correctly-formed legal documents getting access to their email. They just want something quick and easy to prevent weaker attackers from having access.

EDIT: Not defending Hushmail here, but at least they have some warnings about the risks.
