I’m not sure it’s good for anyone to keep SMB’s in the dark, as they have the most surface area and least expertise and budget to respond. It seems like a net benefit to publicize the issue and get every IT hiring manager thinking about it.

Keeping it quiet and only disclosing to larger firms means that lots of small firms will hire these people, with the economic and IP harms they entails.

  As you said, small businessess have less expertise and budget to deal with the problem.
  Telling your gramma she has a virus only makes her become afraid, she won't magically gain the ability to identify it. That's my whole reasoning here. It makes things worse.
