Obscurity does not equal security. It appears that suitable notice and time was given to Facebook to address this issue before publication. If alert users know about this security issue, they will be more aware of potential social engineering exploits targeting it. Therefore, yes, it IS absolutely necessary to publish how this is done. Only the ignorant will object.
