In the age of any website getting hacked, take your steps carefully. But then dont make a business of this discovery, but assist. go ahead inform them by phone call, keep logs of your conversation.
Radical: There is policy followed, do not use code from the internet, just write your own code. Forgetting the above, I just want to know the psychology part, on why would someone keep taking libraries from the internet, after being repeatedly said not to do so
Redundant..they should have got it live 8 years ago.
Not when you have suffered a hack. You could pull a code out from google, it would be safe, but certainly not from anyone.

Q for Programmers: Why search for code, when you can sweat and code yourself

If this is the case, they cannot properly debug a code written by someone.

what is your opinion?

If it is the testing process for an interview then?
hmm...even if they cannot code or remember the syntax without the help of the IDE?
I asked someone to hand code. This guy was so used to Dreamweaver, that he could not just remember certain code, like mysql query. But on the DMW, he was fine, clicking away, getting stuffs done.

So the best coders are hand coders?
