WHY?  Their entire view makes absolutely no sense -- they propose
to say that stopping the flow of information will somehow help the
problem?

<rant>
By stopping the flow of information, they are simply leaving people
less secure, and this is how they propose to fix the problem of poorly
secured products?

Their view seems to be "Withhold information from the un-informed so
that they cannot act".  What purpose does this serve, other than to
create an even bigger problem than anybody could imagine?  This just
further shows the character of our friends at "phrack" -- selfish, childish,
irrational loner wannabes.
