It's official! The BBC are that stupid. I doubt your new system is as
secure as you think so yelling "We've fixed it nah nah nah" is going
to make some people crack it just to show you up.
I on the other hand I am looking at the legal avenues. Is the E.U.
Commission for Competition busy at the moment?

Not so seriously you would actually consult any security experts (or
hire any) or follow industry best practice for security systems, but
seriously none the less.
It's also a pity you don't take the BBC Charter, the BBC Trust or E.U.
Competition Law quite as seriously!
