Maybe because due to an unrelated security hole the bad guy got your script code to be displayed?

TIMTOWTDI applies to cracking too, the bad guys can get in through a single gaping hole but also through a series of just slightly insecure features in your code

Still playing the Devil's Advocate here. (Thank's Ovid for recognizing the usefulness of playing dumb. )
