That guy acted as a "troubleshooter".
What he did was:
I enter your system.
I tell you hwo I did it.
I tell you what the vulnerability is or are.
I tell you HOW to correct the vulnerability I used.

If you act correctly, the result is a safer system, with one or several less 
vulnerability.
If you act foolishly, you procecute the guy, you do nothing about the flaws he 
showed you, and your system is still at least as vulnerable as before.
