@defied is basing his promotion of his/her product on an email from a hacker. BrowserStack hasn't yet explained what happened exactly. That means that he/she believes the email from the attacker? This is just wrong. He/she is trying to use an event he/she might know nothing about.
Even huge companies like Google get hacked. So saying that you can do better just because someone got hacked is just ridiculous. It's about how the hack was handled and what information was disclosed that matters IMO. From what BrowserStack says, it seems like only a few emails addresses were disclosed. I'm not saying that this is bad. But this could have happened to any other company. Everything in the fake email is probably bull---- (has anyone tried to find out if anything in it was true?).
They've confirmed via Twitter this happened. If a company has a serious security breach requiring them to take their entire fleet of servers offline, I'd say it's prime time for advertising a competitor.
Yes, they did. But as I said, they didn't given much detail. But they did say that only a few emails were disclosed. If you call that "serious", then OK, but it could be much worse. The competitor is just profiting from something no one has any real information about and is basing himself on an email sent by a hacker: great!
