Well good thing they went and told everyone about it, just in case there were a few hackers that didn't know. Wouldn't want them to miss out on an opportunity just in case some DNS servers hadn't been patched yet.

That's why it was a secret. They wanted it fixed before it got discovered. But a boat this big was sure to develop some leaks on a Titanic scale.

Except they said it might not be all the way fixed for every ISP yet, lol. That's like the Secretary of Defense saying, "We had these huge security holes, and most have been covered up before the terrists found out, but there may still be 3 so see if you can find them!"

Callisto: This is common practice. Find a serious security hole, fix it, and then announce that it's fixed. Security through obscurity rarely works; it wouldn't have lasted long at all in this case.

It's not fixed though. About 50% of ISPs are still vulnerable. But they didn't publicly announce it until there was a major leak about the problem anyway, which was inevitable considering how many large companies were involved.

I'm aware of that, but it's not like 'There was a Flash exploit, update your Flash player!', this is more like 'There was a DNS exploit, hope your ISP has updated!'. That's the part that bugged me.
