Yup, they found the kyrptonite lock bic pen loophole and made a whole bunch of bikes more safe today. But they also educated a whole bunch of dumb thieves who didn't know in the first place (the smart thieves knew but they are far more rare). So it's always a mixed bag.

Still, in the end I'd rather know about security problems even if it means the "bad guys" get told at the same time, otherwise you just have security theater.
