They're calling it a way to get "free bitcoins". Good job OP. I don't suppose you'd "fully disclose" that the "exploit" as you call it, is not, in fact, a way to get "free bitcoins". I don't suppose you'd bother to correct the misinformation you've fostered.
Read the comments on that article. I posted a gpg signed comment (that got mangled by their crappy site) calling the author out for irresponsible journalism. Before you even posted this. He made no attempt to contact me and only a cursory attempt to contact tux so that he could add a derisive comment in his "article."
Crappy journalist is crappy. Surprise, surprise.
