OK, let's formulate it as follows : if you have a house and discover a special
fun way to go in  without using the key, will you put a big sign on the door
saying "Hey, it's terrible, my door has to be fixed, everybody can go in, and I'm
going to tell you exactly how to do it because it's soooo cool !". If you really
think it 's OK to do so, you'd better discuss it with your insurance company...
You'll just tell your family and other people you trust and report the matter to
a locksmith. When a security flaw is discovered, the logical tactic is to keep
quiet and report them discreetly to the people who can fix it, and NOT to educate
potential intruders. The only time when it may be mandatory to go public in such
a detailed way is when the people in charge don't care about the problem or don't
want to know about it, and as far as I know this has not been the case here.
