What is he ruining by pointing out security vulnerabilities in this "fun hack"? (Something you're claiming in that blog post is beneficial, so I'm not exactly buying your retroactive characterization here.)

This sort of thing is irresponsible without the proper explanation of the dangers involved.

Totally. It's not a simple task, and what this post describes creates a threat model that I would generously term "dire."
