English High Court Bans Publication of 0-Day Threat To Auto Immobilizers 168
An anonymous reader writes "The High Court — England's highest civil court — has temporarily banned the publication of a scientific paper that would reveal the details of a zero day vulnerability in vehicle immobilisers and, crucially, give details of how to crack the system. Motor manufacturers argued that revealing the details of the crack would allow criminals to steal cars. Could this presage the courts getting involved in what gets posted on your local Bugzilla? It certainly means that software giants who dislike security researchers publishing the full facts on vulnerabilities might want to consider a full legal route."

It sure is a good thing that England controls the entire Internet and that no one anywhere will be able to publish this information now.
Yeah, next thing you know they'll be banning porn!
