Not at all; they didn't create new risks, they just exposed existing risks. And the security community's reaction isn't their fault, either.
And sometimes an industry needs a wakeup call to take a topic serious.
- icebraining 11y agoIf doing something risky doesn't increase the risk of bad consequences happening, what does? Whether they "created new risks" seems beyond the point of the criticism - this isn't about exposing the flaw, it's about reproducing it in an unsafe way.
