V is right, because not being warned in advance, their customers are left to the mercy of script kiddies.
The resasonable conclusion here is that V should be suing the script kiddies, not H.
If H is going to publish the exploit without early warning, i'll say V has all the rights in the world to sue the crap out of H, and put him(her) in jail for one thousand years, and i'll applaud that.
Outlawing the distribution of knowledge is a slippery slope.
