Unfortunately we all know what happens when you tell hackers that something's going to be very hard to break into.
I understand that they were excited about the idea and wanted to share it with gamers, but if they actually wanted to give the system the best chance of success, they should've kept their mouth shut.
at least it probably saves you from the worst fate: that nobody cares about the game enough to try to discover the things
(I'm fairly sure that datamining is not that common outside highly popular games, well assuming the data isn't neatly in plaintext)
Considering it’s being published and promoted by a huge YouTube video game channel it’d never be likely to stay under the radar.
