Looks like the blog author "missed" the fact that nukedx.com site
belongs to the same person who submitted the original advisory. This
seems odd, though, given that nukedx claims to have notified the vendor.
Did he/she just fail to make the connection?

I'm also mildly curious about the phrase "after the hacks occurred".
Does this mean sites were actually hacked? Or is he/she equating the
term hacking with research?
