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. )

    But no one sees this code...

    Except your co-worker that wants you fired cause your oversized paycheck puts a real damper on the funds available for raises. Or the new site Admin accidentally re-configured Apache to display CGI scripts as text files instead of running them. The list goes on. ++ for mirod
