A lot of hackers I read about have a great deal of bravo about things like this. Yeah sure you found a vulnerability in a companies API and got something for free. What I look forward to see is his next hack, where he somehow gets past the part where the company sends men with guns to his home to throw him in jail. Hopefully he can use the free rides to go someplace without a extradition treaty.

Really he only managed to hack a small portion of the system and ignored the societal safeguards that are far more robust.

"bravado" :-)
My bad, I'll blame autocorrect
Not bad!

That's the beauty of crowd-sourcing. Fee free to use words that seem right, and if it turns out that there is a slight adjustment to be made, everyone learns for free.
