I don't think they realize it is a flaw.

It is the same with the private key that they are sending out for all accounts. They don't think it is a flaw.

The inside joke though is that you can mine NXT with GPU farms, cracking secret phrases and rewriting transactions.

Quoted.

Not the first time we've seen this from the FCs....

Hmmm... for just a moment... I had an idea for a Nxt hacking toolkit.

It works like this:

It scans the block chain for active Nxt accounts with balances.
Then it uses hashcat (see: http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/#features-algos ) to crack the secret phrases.
Any match with any of the existing Nxt public addresses essentially cracks the account.
The account then is silently drained of its holdings.

I wonder how much people who pay for such a toolkit?

U should do it.
