Actually, I think it's very clear there were just a lot of bad dev practices happening across the different technologies. Classic ASP on Impact Data, PHP on the main Billabong site and current day .NET on the store. Clearly bad things were done on all.

However, some of those basic injection flaws in classic ASP would not have been possible on a more modern technology stack be that from Microsoft or other. A 5 year old version of PHP also isn't going to do you any favours. Newer frameworks are simply better at saving you from yourself - but that doesn't excuse the sloppy practices.

The guy's a Microsoft MVP. It was more a Microsoft oriented article in my opinion.
