Don't fall for it. The goal here is to blame the leak, make people believe that because of this leak terrorists now have more power. Associate leak with terror increasing their power. Pretend that the software is a "natural cause" that had to happen anyway, and only this irresponsible leak is the problem.

This. It's the nature of profit-oriented business and "insurance".

Before anti-virus companies started to spring up, in the early days of computer virii, AV software was free and trustworthy. It's in the best interest of the AV companies to make a bad situation worse to the degree they can get away with it.
