The author did just that, though. They said they wanted to write up a post about the incident.

I think both I and the author understand why the CEO responded as they did; it's because the CEO doesn't care about security, and when a security issue was raised, they viewed the reporter as a threat to the blanket of lies they wanted to use to brush the whole thing under the rug.

In light of that, I think the author's response was appropriate. A lesser response would be letting the company off the hook.

The CEO's reasons for not liking the situation are quite obvious, yes, they were caught with their pants down, it makes them look bad (the company was bad). I'm not advocating for letting them off the hook, I'm advocating for better communication. That's pretty much it.
