a. Stop publishing exploits (ook fair enough, but if this stops,they still get traded privately, leading to a small circle of people having control of a large number of internet hosts).
And if this small circle includes anti-sec, then they have a lot less competition from the rest of the skiddies on the net.
b. Their mantra of "it's all about money" is two sided as I'm sure they are compensated in some way for their time and effort in pulling off this (pretty cool) feat.
I think it is indeed about the money... If you combine the two points above (this in just my opinion, and I could be vastly wrong, but that's nothing out of the ordinary. ;] ), then maybe anti-sec wants all those vulnerable hosts to themselves. With the lack of competition from the skiddies they could amass quite a large number of compromised hosts, which they could then rent out to spammers/etc. like any other botnet.
c. They think that by spreading "fear" exploits and other security related articles will stop popping up on the internet?! Why? Wouldn't this activity of theirs only promote further full-disclosure and awareness of security protocol?
Because, obviously, they've threatened to rm everyone who stands between them and world domination^W^W^W^W^W^Wpublishes exploits. And, naturally, because they are so great and powerful, everyone will immediately comply. ...or just laugh and go about their business as ususal. ;)
