Indeed, it isn't the first time I've seen this, but for someone else it might be.
Forum posts get buried over time, people are at times reluctant or don't know how to use the search option, etc. So I think it's actually a good thing that someone brings it up [again] and brings attention to security issues.
At the same time, someone might have something new to share on how to block this or secure the server when topics like these get re-raised, which might not have been the case last time.
When it comes to security, I'd say: ask away and don't care if it's been asked before. I'd rather have your server secure, to aid safeguarding mine...
