I do see your point, however sometimes it is a good thing to let everyone know about it, so they're able to do something about it.

For example, my manager even heard about "shell shock" and prompted me to do something about it. Although, it was over a week after the outbreak, and we'd already established we weren't vulnerable (applied the patch anyway) - but even so!

Yes at least 20 of our clients phoned up about this as well which is funny because we don't have any Linux machines at all.
