Ask HN: Why was the Dropbox security issue thread killed?

Original thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2322585

It linked to this post: https://grepular.com/Dropbox_Mobile_Less_Secure_Than_Dropbox_Desktop#

I had just tested my Dropbox account and confirmed the issue, and that session information was also being sent in the clear from the mobile client.

I came back and the thread was dead. Why?

It is a legitimate security issue, post and discussion
