Research is the backbone of the security industry but the legal climate has become so adverse that researchers have had to worry about injunctions, FBI visits, and even arrest.

I totally agree; companies think security through obscurity is going to protect them. I can't wait until the day, when consumer backlash starts happening to these companies that have purposefully ignored security researchers. It looks like it will take a major class action lawsuit against these companies (after a major breach of course), before thing would get better.

I hope though it will not come to that, but unfortunately here in the US it seems unlikely.
