To "happen upon the exploit" requires specific hardware. If someone had tried to connect without using one of the exceedingly few handheld devices capable of 5 GHz WiFi, nothing would have happened. That's a good enough reason for me to accept the idea that nobody but the admitted culprit knew about the problem.
