Good to see that; thanks for digging deeper. I hope he has done this behind the scenes and the holes are patched, because I'm sure that by now, someone with worse intent has already followed those footsteps...

In the aforementioned Daily Dot article:

> CommuteAir added that the server, which was taken offline prior to publication after being flagged by the Daily Dot, did not expose any customer information based on an initial investigation.

As a side note, maia uses it/its pronouns.

If TFA (may not be accessible right now) is to be believed, “the” server is a very generous understatement of the size of the exposed infrastructure, and customer information was very much accessible if not accessed per maia’s words. So seeing a statement like this from the CommuteAir PR people actually makes me feel less reassured, not more. (The attacking side looks better so far—maia itself is not a “watch the world burn” type, judging from its breach history, even if its writing makes you wonder whether the absurdist parody is deliberate or the author is in fact slightly manic. Kind of like Justine Tunney.)

According to wikipedia maia has used both it/its and she/her at various times, so it seems either is appropriate.

Sure but "he" isn't, which is what OP used.
