Calling for hackers? Cmon, why's that? To meet a morally ambiguous goal of providing and informing people about security...?...perhaps...?...to make communications more secure...?...maybe...?...but consider who benefits from the discovery. The end-user, sure, "hackers", meh, the "discoverer" and the entity embodying their concept, quite so. It's rather enjoyable to see someone pursuant of sticking it to the man, so to say, however please remind yourself of the concept of humility. This is not a brilliant idea, nor is it nearly comparable to real work that, in some humanly distorted way, laid the grounds for non-nonsensical hype. So, this person is a do-er, do-ing that which no one is necessarily do-ing, but what is being done is rather minuscule compared to those brilliantly unknown ideas that can and will be overlooked by drivelously laden eyes.
