Does anyone know who runs that site or how to contact them? The site itself has no contact info on it, the source code is owned by a user just called "brainwallet", the only thing resembling a contact address is a twitter account also called "brainwallet", etc.

Whoever runs this site needs to shut it down now. It's negligent to do anything less.

Joric, I found him in #bitcoin-dev once, and IIRC he ragequit because of the core team bitching about bw.org

https://www.bitaddress.org has a brainwallet tab
Not to mention the "SHA256 hash calculators/generators" all over the net - hello, Private Key Hexadecimal Format.

Can't get security through obscurity...
