Security by obscurity is not security

Its nice that the phrase rhymes but it is not even a maority of cases. Obscurity is a basic security principle. Everything from NAT to direct obfuscation of internal networks and more. Even basic encryption and obfuscation on your home network is recommended, while it wouldn't survive true attacks it does in fact keep most folks legal.
In this case it was probably noticed by the coder himeself or another. If a hacker had done anything to get noticed over this I am sure we would have heard about it on the site or from the affected site owner.
