Most "growth hacks" are not "hacks" in the malicious sense but rather hacks in the sense of doing something clever. (see "life hack", etc.) This clearly crosses that line and even though they claim it wasn't malicious, it's an invasion of someone's personal space. I'd expect this to backfire massively, it shows a tremendous lack of judgment.

Great domain name.
Others have probably told you this already but there's no need to jump to getting a lawyer involved at this point. It's most likely an unintentional screw up.
Continue following up with both the company and the bank. If it is urgent, I would also let your supervisor at the company know, because the HR trolls who run this stuff at big companies are usually incompetent, and a pissed off manager at the company is more likely to be able to produce results from them than you are. (And any manager should be pissed off that employees or contractors are not being paid promptly.)
Thanks! That's a good idea. I definitely need to make some it easier to understand how to use it when you hit the landing page. Thinking about adding an explainer video too.
See above, hopefully answers some of the question.
Thanks! The map on the frontend side makes use of a nifty library called Leaflet, as well as Mapbox and OpenStreetMaps. On the backend side there's a bunch of python going on but that's part of the secret sauce. :)
Ah sorry about that seems to be a screw up on the responsive design. Still working out the bugs on mobile and tablets. Give it a try on your laptop! :)
Hey guys I created this site. Would love to get some feedback and will be happy to answer questions. There's a lot you can do with it, including reading/writing posts in any location around the world, searching for specific keywords, and following a geographic area. (ie. geofencing.)
One interesting way I was using it yesterday was to see what people are saying about ebola worldwide. A month ago there were almost no messages about it, but as you can see, people in the US, Western Europe, and Brazil are really freaking out now. (In fact, I learned yesterday of the first suspected Brazilian case by reading tweets about it on my own site. Pretty neat.) If you follow this link you'll see what I'm talking about: http://loqq.us/E
Given the rate at which it has spread, and that health care workers who should be the best informed on how to avoid it have still contracted the disease, I would say it's pretty darn contagious.
Don't trust govt agencies and their lapdog media to tell you the truth about it. (Should go without saying.)
I'm finding it pretty interesting to watch it play out on my site here. For instance you can see today people are tweeting about the first suspected case in Brazil: http://loqq.us/E
A linked list is a pretty trivial data structure that all CS students should learn in their first course. 20 minutes is a long time, and if you couldn't figure out how to reverse it, at least in pseudo-code, during that time, I would question your grasp of CS fundamentals.
