The whole blog post seems a bit melodramatic. I mean seriously, who here hasn't spent 3 all nighters in a row fixing a mistake? sack up and do what you should've done before deploying other people's data.
...and who would seriously sue these kids? they handled it poorly but they're smart (definitely smarter than i was at 16) you're lucky it was curious kids, rather than malicious (and experienced) hackers that would've been harder to catch. Do you really want to burden them with a criminal record for life?
