A fellow is contacted by a company that provides “services and products” to government agencies, and, wanting to investigate this company further, visits its website. There he quickly discovers that the password-protected areas of the site are easily accessible…since the required user name and password are in the page’s source code. You know, the code that every single browser on Earth can reveal if the user were to pick the “View Source” option from the menu? Yeah, that source code. In plain text.

You should read the original post for the full impact of the hilarity that ensues, including what these programming geniuses did when their password was found out. However, someone who allegedly works for this company wasn’t happy with how the business was being portrayed, and decided to put his best foot forward and take it up in the comments section:

thank you hackers for trying to destroy federal suppliers guides reputation. i have worked here with my wife for 10 years now and have helped hundreds of clients obtain federal government work. i have 4 children and though you don’t care you are hurting the feelings of many good employees and customers by your immature actions. sorry our site wasn’t protected to your standards however all of you are being reported to the appropriate authorities as we have your information too. you should of protected your info a little better. not only is the company legit we actually have held a 5 year GSA contract with the federal government

and one of my best clients just broke 500,000 dollars in federal sales directly related to the GSA contract we got them. i am proud to work here and help small businesses obtain government workand also help federal buyers locate qualified small businesses to do business with. if you not interested in government work or our services of helping small businesses navigate the federal market fine but please don’t slander the company. its rude, your comments are not truthful we are not a scam and i hope someday you realize that all you have to do is check us out with dun & bradstreet or GSA or the florida local and state chambers of commerce to see that what we do is real and federal buyers do request both our hardcopy guides and the online directory as well.
