I agree completely. I am Tom's wife and I saw all of the effort that he put in to contacting subaru and trying to alert them before he released anything. After over a week Tom decided to post the exploit on github and from there news stations have been contacting him, but the real intention was just to get a hold of subaru to let them know what was going on.
This comment is so funny because Tom Wimmenhove did try to sign up for the partnership program and waited over a week to post this online after contacting subaru multiple times... He also did not ask for any publicity it was news sites that contacted him not the reverse... he simply posted a video after a news station requested a demonstration. It isn't Tom's fault that subaru won't make themselves available to have a conversation.
