The problem with the censoring of the paper, is we don't have all the facts as to why it was censored. As an example, say someone accidentally leaked the private key, I think controlling the publication of that would be a good idea until the systems can be updated.

So without knowing that the researchers followed responsible disclosure, I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist. Especially not over such bad reporting of it.
