While I agree the article is more technical than the author claims, that summary says very little and sounds like fear mongering. It is important to have a credible tone in order for a serious issue to be treated seriously.

One of the interesting things about the original article are the technical details. If the claims are true, almost anyone who has a decent knowledge of computer networking can circumvent the security measures. Even replacing jargon with descriptions more amenable to a non-technical audience would likely convey the same thing. This is in stark contrast to most of the vulnerabilities we hear about these days, where a much deeper knowledge is required to exploit the vulnerability even when a thorough description is provided.
