This is extremely dangerous. Condemning the whistle blowers results in a much less secure environment, since you'll scare away the white hats, and insecure systems will remain insecure. We need whistle blower protection laws in place, and we need them now.

A person who's only marketable skill is on the Internet, completely prohibited from using ssh or virtualization, by nothing more than an error-riddled FBI complaint document. (This started prior to the grand jury indictment.) He's been without significant work for over two years as a result. It's a scary thought that this could happen to any one of us.
