in the example you mention the 'security' is working by design, but the operational parameters changed which in turn made that security model unsuitable - so it is the parameter change, rather than the 'security' is what led to the problems.

The original system could have been just as 'obscure' but also included an appropriately secured mechanism that allowed for this kind of remote access / disaster scenario.
