No. No. No.
There are any number of things which could have been done after Einstein to fix this issue. Don't fall into the trap of "he spoke up and was ignored so he had to make his point." There are plenty of ways to get "unignored" (later on) without knowingly sabotaging an event.

The existence of this vulnerability could have been made known, and fixed, after the fact. Suspecting that someone else is exploiting it, is not a valid reason for exploiting it yourself.

Kudos to 548 for coming forward, I expect nothing less from such a well regarded team.
Their team leadership stepped forward. They communicated the facts they have, without editorializing. They apologized.
