I see this as a symptom of something different. Security researchers have treated press coverage as a desirable commodity for a while now. Journalism has changed though, and so now we are seeing people like zdarski calling out journalists for reporting failures. The fact is that journalists today are too busy writing linkbait headlines and getting page clicks to bother with details like accuracy or ethics. Researchers need to look at stories like this one and realize that journalists are not your friends, even if they write nice things about you or hang out with you at parties. This journalist probably thought he was doing this guy a favor by writing about him.
