I doubt there would be too many people here in the cyber industry given the main thrust is aviation, but those that are will be talking to their customers (I have been...) to point them in the right direction.
Surely this is the most blatant illustration that secrecy is illusory, at best one delays the leakage somewhat.
Hopefully the customer reaction will be to recognize that the security emperor has no clothes, the service is not worth the enormous cost.
The massive proliferation of classification and the associated 'security efforts' have obviously widened the attack surface so much that it becomes indefensible.
