Since there still seems to be a debate about exactly what weakness was exploited, that conclusion is unwarranted.

For that matter, a truly thorough cracker (with more time than constructiveness) might go to the trouble to identify more than one weak point, hold some in reserve, and exploit them sequentially over time - either to offer a more depressing experience to the site owner or to discredit the site's technical team [taking advantage of people willing to jump to your conclusion :) ]

If there is more than one weak point, do they even need "conclusion-jumpers" to discredit their technical team? Assuming of course that it's not more than one 0day.
