When I first heard the story, I wondered why they were publicizing it. It sounds like this guy didn’t go the authorities but went to the media. He had an obligation to go to them 1st.

Kinda like the guy who landed his gyro-copter on the White house lawn after calling the secret service, FBI etc. The guy had a live video feed of him doing it in real time.
Our government is a complete and utter disaster.

He had an obligation to go to them 1st. For some, going to the government 1st may be the right thing. For others, who don't trust the Federal Government maybe not. But I don't see any obligation.

If he had gone to the government first, they would have instantly had a judge impose a gag order on him, on the reasoning that talking about the vulnerabilities would compromise "national security". Then the government would have sat on the data.
Going to media FIRST ensures that it will be taken seriously.
