CEO reached out to me via email as well a few hours ago to acknowledge the security problems and promise to implement encryption.

1. I really, really like #5 on the part of the developers. Being decisive like that FTW. :P

2. Maybe it's possible to be too conspirational, but I'd assumed that, shall we say, SSL had been foregone by arrangement. I'm really glad to hear this is not the case!

Failing to use encryption isn't good, but it isn't the same as "screwing" it's customers. Also, The connection to Ashley Madison has no technical merit. It is just for shock value. This article is really sloppily written.
