I sympathize, but there weren't enough details for Joe Random to build an exploit. This was an attempt to apply pressure, and it did it in the right way, by telling people how they can defend themselves.

Unlike Shellshock which was all over the freaking place, neither I nor my colleagues have gotten any suspicious MMS messages.
