 * Yes, but that explains all the brute force attacks. I’m afraid there’s a new 
   exploit out there, to which even v3.5.1 is vulnerable.
 * Passwords weren’t brute forced in this case, since our firewall blocks all such
   attempts after a few tries and would make it almost impossible. Not to mention
   all the alerts from the firewall we would get.
