We have a lab here that we have university students working in every week to conduct testing just as these guys did. It's a very real concern.
Yes. I understand this experiment wasn't a college prank. I am just worried about the copy-cat syndrome, where other 'unscrupulous' types (i.e. hackers) may learn about this and try to do it themselves. I wonder to what extent experiments like this should be kept confidential or 'low key', until a mitigant to the risk is developed.
