Another "researcher" makes a name for himself.
So, just why was it necessary for for this Bozo to actually "create and release the code" for the exploit? Let me guess. His company makes money by hyping up the level of fear. See their web page where they say their business is "research and consultancy" - meaning that they profit by releasing the exploit code so that people will hire them to fix it. Sounds a little like blackmail to me.

Of course this is one of those stories that is going to devolve into a Linux Vs Windows Vs Mac flame war within the next ten seconds or so; so within that time everyone will forget the original issue and the irresponsible behavior of these "security" companies.
