Troy's great strengths come from demonstrating to the average Joe just how easy this is. He's not going over board on the technical side because his aim isn't to get everyone doing this. By and large he's pushing companies with woefully insecure systems into securing them by using the media to spread the message. Though he usually targets companies with web based forms and authentication systems he appears here to be doing the same thing. If he generates enough chatter about it, more pressure will be put on those responsible to fix the problem.

P.S. The vague "that article rife with errors" and "it's pretty obvious those screen caps have been photoshopped to try and prove and incorrect point" comments are pitiful and pointless without some explanations. But ooh, I'm sure you are all important and busy with out the time to explain yourself.
