The real thanks should go to you Rob. As it's stated, it's an industry wide problem and the real guts come from the companies that take the issue seriously; the ones who come out, hold it close to their own, admit they were wrong, and work to improve. This says a lot about you and your company, and as a customer it makes me proud that you're part of our mobile pipeline.

As a customer, Rob, what would be a good avenue to notify you of issues like this in the future? Not every company wants to be front and center of what is essentially the news hub of tech people like HN for issues, so is there some way we can get with you guys directly to straighten security issues out, as well as some assurances as how you'll handle it along the way?

Thanks for your attention to the issue :)

In the interest of said discussion, I would appreciate a write-up of the rationale behind the approach chosen, when you are ready. It could help others that are in a similar situation. Perhaps inspire a better practice in the industry.
