I'm glad they at least patched this pretty quickly, once they were alerted to it.
What do you mean alerted to it. They put it on the bloody thing in the first place!

Kinda like "oops we forgot...Sorry people our bad."

more like " Oh crap we got caught!"

I think in reading about it there was a note somewhere that mentioned that it wasn't even being used anymore and apparently no one had bothered to follow up and remove it. It was just being installed for no reason other than to serve as a possible vector for disastrous abuse.
