yes, they made a complaint and don't really seem to care too much
about the insecurity of their standard, they support criminisation
of exploits as an actual solution. Not the (rightly illegal) use of
exploits, just writing/publishing them.
That kind of madness is going to less real security, the idiots are
just shooting themselves in the head.
