Should critical security problems concerning ATMs be discussed on the net?

What do you think about? Example: Forbidden Juniper presentation

Check the link to read the blog post at Juniper.

An employee of Juniper obviously discovered a security leek in the network structure used by Automated Teller Machines. This problem seems to concern one ATM manufacturer directly – the name was not mentioned. The employee of Juniper has prepared a presentation for the Blackhat USA 2009 conference to show more details about this issue. The vendor has forbidden to show the presentation. Juniper says that not only this vendor is concerned, the problem could touch any ATM.
Do you think the decision to forbid Juniper to show the presentation was a good one?
