This is a good point. Given that the flaw/exploit was posted to a
'beginner's list' I'd be pretty surprised that this is the first
everyone's heard of it, but..
It would be different if it had been posted to a developer's list, or a
known cracking list, or something *other* than a 'beginner's' list.
It might be useful to know the details of the flaw/bug/exploit
At least enough to check to see if it's been talked about elsewhere.
