The point of releasing the _vulnerability_ before there is a fix is to prevent harm to users. If that concept doesn't jell with your brand of capitalism, fine.
Anyone who assumes ISS and Maynor and Johnny Cache are the only ones who have found the vulnerability doesn't have the sense Baud gave an animal cracker, and for sure should not be giving security advice of any kind to anybody.
As for my age, well, I normally don't divulge that on the first date.
