The same kind of thing happened at Sun, except with the secure rpc stuff. Had a guy send mail saying, "I know your two primes." Sun replied, "No way." (And lauged internally.)
I'm not sure this is how it happened, but the person (maybe there's more than one?) who did this is a cypherpunk, who will identify himself if he wants. He also wrote a paper on this. The first version of the paper had the private key at the top of the first page, but it got removed because certain spooks got upset. Marc
