When I started the article I thought, "Oh great another speculative Mega bashing."

Then you actually wrote the proof of concept and proved it to be a very real problem.

Nice work. Also the mouseover on your site title is sexy.

The wonderful thing about the ridiculous level of Mega publicity combined with the availability of code is that Mega are getting this sort of excellent feedback.

Early evidence is that they are listening and responding. https://mega.co.nz/#blog_3

Let's see what the response is to this piece.

I for one am not going to judge them too harshly if they keep listening and responding, as the product will just keep getting better. Sure they are blessed with I guess several million customers a few days after launch, but many here have also been through early product issues, albeit with far fewer customers. Like Mega, we learn and move on by fixing the problems.

I guess Mega appreciate the value of this sort of feedback, and the attendant publicity.

Edit: and just after publishing this, a tweet from Dotcom: "We welcome the ongoing #Mega security debate & will offer a cash prize encryption challenge soon. Let's see what you got ;-)"
