A pet peeve of mine is when news articles cite public sources like social media but don't bother to link to them. I can understand for NSFW content but that should be the exception not the rule!
Why would you want them to give publicity to a description on how to exploit something? At least when you don't publish the "hack" you can let people know to take action without trivializing the exploit. Yes, I know it's still trivial to find it by searching Twitter.
It's a matter of responsible disclosure. Increased terror causes increased publicity, causing more systems to be fixed, and pushes more people to take urgent action against the vulnerabilities. Your PHB cannot say "hackers would need a password, don't worry".
What's PHB?
