White House Blog: Heartbleed: Understanding When We Disclose Cyber Vulnerabilies
(White House): http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/04/28/heartbleed-understanding-when-we-disclose-cyber-vulnerabilities
"But there are legitimate pros and cons to the decision to disclose,
and the trade-offs between prompt disclosure and withholding knowledge
of some vulnerabilities for a limited time can have significant
consequences. Disclosing a vulnerability can mean that we forego an

terrorist attack stop the theft of our nation's intellectual property,
or even discover more dangerous vulnerabilities that are being used by
hackers or other adversaries to exploit our networks."
