That apparently is the credit card companies' approach to securing RFID-enabled credit cards:  Gag anyone who talks about the security vulnerabilities.  Because what the customer doesn't know won't hurt the stockholders or the senior management, right?

Until, that is, there's a major hack and a whole bunch of customers lose a whole lot of money, and it comes out that the companies knew, but tried to sweep the problem under the rug and pretend it didn't exist instead of doing anything about it...
