Thank you, I did mess up and wish I could take it back. To everyone bashing on me, I'm truly sorry to offend so many people. That was not the intention. This was purely as you describe it, intellectual curiosity.

I really appreciate your comment and hope it's OK that I added it here: https://dejanseo.com.au/competitor-hack/#shawn

The good news is, if you're ever interested in a career as a pentester, this is an excellent portfolio piece. :) (Really!)

Also, don't worry too much. I think everyone knows your heart was in the right place, and ultimately that counts for something.

Don't let it discourage you. It was a really cool finding. I've done everything right before when it comes to disclosing bugs, and I've still had people dumping on me.

You should consider security as a second career if you ever get bored with marketing.
