Broadcasting this fact is almost as bad of an idea as implementing it in the first place. You now have a bullseye on your site from every blackhat reading this. It's your company and your customers (which I am not one of), so most of the time I would just say do whatever you want, because it doesn't affect me. Problem is, it does. It affects every developer out there, because once your security is compromised and every password is leaked by LulzSec, Anonymous, ScriptKiddies, etc... we're all at risk.

I understand you did this for your users and your product, but please reconsider. Your users are also everyone elses users, so your lack of proper security is shared amongst all of us.
