Pretty reasonable guess. It would be good to hear the post mortem, but we probably won't. There are a lot of people who believe in security through obscurity. They believe, for example, that by keeping the anti-DDOS algorithms secret, that gives them an advantage over the attackers.
That's actually true, until isn't true anymore.
And is that also old-timer FR lingo, for a deleted post?
That's a joke son. I say, I say, that's a joke."
