While I don't say it is, this is also a classical tactic to discredit something that could be a problem. This strategy has been used with other projects. If you are worried that this has potential it will ruin your project/income you're going to shit-talk it.

Some years ago there was a leak of plans to do that very with Tor. Spreading FUD so less secure systems are used. Discrediting contributors, turning people against each other and so on.

Common theme. If someone has a way to break something, they'd at least gain publicity for it, if they have any positive interest they'll at least mention a source or provide any chance for rebuttal (the whole point of the scientific method), if neither happens be at least skeptical.
