It seems like the agents of Project Faustus are at foot. If I were that security researcher, I would look into getting some life insurance...immediately! One cannot underestimate the threat posed by Faustus.
Oops. I'm not American, so I converted from the American date format 2-16 to something logical (16th Feb) and bypassed the 'is this a real date' check.
I realise there's nothing to be done about it, and I'm not worried; I just think it is polite to let people know something bad is about to happen when you find out about it, not 1 day before it happens.
