It's a bullshit headline all the way around. They may have waited like 9 days to patch it, but the exploit had been shown to be on their system (and many other companies) for several months. Essentially, the extra 9 days after the vulnerability was discovered and a patch existed wouldn't have mattered much for anything. Ship already long since sailed.
