Unknowingly, mind you, but that's no consolation.

From a security standpoint, this is a reminder that obscurity is not security. Somebody obviously figured out the file name (somehow) before FUNi was ready to tell people the file was on their server. One hopes FUNi will change their practices. (At work, we can keep the federal budget off the 'net until it's been presented in the House of Commons. We've done that for years and have it down to a routine. It's easy: don't put it on a server that's connected to the 'net until it's time to let people download it.)
From a fanboy perspective, this is a setback for legal anime downloads - the studios aren't going to trust FUNi to do it properly for a while (if ever), and they'll have a hard time trusting anyone else to do it correctly, either.
