No unauthorized access but they would argue unauthorized vandalism by the developer, which blocks the entire site. Airing dirty laundry is in some jurisdictions a legal offence. Which is exactly why there needs to be agreement spelled out in contracts upfront, that this could happen, and the client would just sign it. And I am a fan of smart contracts and cryptocurrencies, see my suggestion below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46502285 |

In the UK, the place where the site in the original link is, it's okay to state facts about a business transaction in public if it's not a malicious falsehood, a violation of contract, or a violation of privacy laws (e.g. sharing emails or recorded calls). But yes, I agree, the issues leading up to this should all be tackled by the contract up front.
