Yes, that's it. And we DO NOT KNOW how often this happend already and they perhaps didn't realise at all! Or so say it in Bruce Schneier's words: "As a cryptography and computer security expert, I have never understood the current fuss about the open source software movement. In the cryptography world, we consider open source necessary for good security; we have for decades."
