How to ask my question but obfuscate my real data
First, one point: if you are basing your server's security on people from the internet not "finding" your server, you've already lost. If your server is vulnerable, then you should implement firewall …

Posting warnings about bugs
SF is not for announcements. There are plenty of other venues for those.
However, if it can be phrased as a well-reasoned question, something that would otherwise be on topic here, I'm fine with you …
