Because Sly nothing was really exposed. Basically it's something like this.
You log into unified stats members area to download the program and the url looks like this.
username:[email protected]/members/

Now you click the link to boobdollars from within the members area.
If boobdollars looks through his referral logs he's going to see this url
username:[email protected]/members/...as a referrer.

So now he knows someone's username and password to unified stats.
He doesn't know your user/pass for any programs or any other sites, just that he can log into unified stats and look around with your username/password.

WOW, what a security flaw

What I find hilarious is that JB has had months to try and pick apart unified stats and this was the best he could do. Fucking pathetic.

I've got half a mind to cancel my stats remote subscription and go with unified.
