Perhaps if you had any inkling at all about Computer Security and the way security concerns are fixed, this probably would have never happened. Evil malicious person discovers a security hole. Said person exploits hole as much as possible. Hole is eventually revealed to the world by nice sysadmin who had his server compromised.
Patch is created.
Exploit is re-created in order for other sysadmins to see how the exploit worked, and perhaps to force other sysadmins to hurry up and patch their system too. It's usually just a well-meaning sysadmin or cs grad student doing their part to help out the cs community. What I have learned in my efforts in being a responsible journalist, assuming that isn't an oxymoron, is there are times when it ends you up in a very difficult position. I would certainly describe this as one of those cases. I received dozens of emails informing me that the Tech Zone had posted the email address of the server crasher.
