Dear arstechnica, please don't write articles like this, where you make it seem like curl is somehow related or even the cause: "It can be reproduced using five requests from cURL, a command-line tool that transfers data using HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, and other common Internet protocols." I find it quite untasteful to somehow sneak an plug for curl in here at all.

Thinking of: “I will slaughter you”, where Daniel explains how he gets death threats from clueless sysadmins that see that they have been hacked by someone that used curl.

Edit: I have e-mailed the author, but someone that use Twitter may want to try and reach the author on @dangoodin001. Thank you.
