Fun fact: I was able to access a bunch of employee admin screens in early 2015 because of the client side architecture of the app. I noticed around a year later the architecture had changed and always wondered if my article had a role in the transition

Wish this was during SXSW!

This is a good point, but there should be more awareness towards the issue as a whole. I've seen many apps who expose data dangerously. Some developers may not be aware that these values are exposed (even with SSL), so they should architect their apps accordingly, reinforcing the fact that you should never trust the client. I also briefly touch on the fact about this dynamic architecture and some of the implications it brings.

I accidentally stumbled upon employee admin screens, all by changing a key, isAdmin = true.
