Any hypothese / explanation ?

Hey There,

A few thoughts:

1. An attack doesn't have to be huge to be devastating; also, you need to define 'huge'.

2. Who says there hasn't been a huge attack, and you/we just haven't seen or heard of it?

3. This hole will be exploitable for the months upon months. Anyone who was sensible, with an exploit vector this schweet, should be smart enough to take their time and slowly own a pile of boxes. Maybe they just don't want to blow a good thing? :)

Cheers,
Byron
