"A 21-year-old college student in London had his internet service
terminated and was threatened with legal action after publishing details
of a critical vulnerability that can compromise the security of the ISP's
subscribers."

I don't see any part of the story that indicates that the ISP did wrong, I see plenty that the student did wrong. E.g., did the student ever try to discreetly raise the issue with the ISP before going public?
