There's 3 possibilties here:

1) You have no idea what the SJG incident was *really* about - and it is,
in fact, itself a good cautionary tale about a total misread of an
organization's promo material, similar to much of the speculation regarding
eon8. Reading of the original story is recommended (Google is your friend).

2) Your security world doesn't include the possibility of an attacker throwing
such a site up as a sacrificial lamb, so that when a similar site goes
online for real, it flies under the radar "because it's just a copycat
of that OTHER site we got *sooo* embarassed by.."  Reading of Sun Tzu is
recommended.

3) You're just a self-important troll.  Reading of "Darwin Awards for Dummies"
is recommended.
