How "secure" is your Site Studio site?

NOTE: This only applies to sites hosted directly off of Site Studio; meaning, not published via the Site Studio Publishing Utility (SSPU).

If you don't know how content is secured within Site Studio, expand this:

In my experience, many places have a poorly designed security and metadata model (not to mention an un-normalized one).  As a result, I have seen many implementations give the anonymous user (R)ead access to ALL security groups and the #all account.  In my opinion, there is no chance that 100% of your content is "web ready" and insensitive by nature.  Is it possible?  Sure, but I'm more likely to be the Redskins' quarterback next year, so why expose your web site and content server unnecessarily?

What's my point in all this?

What if I were to say that I could obtain copies of your entire fragment libraries, along with your layout pages, and also know the names and email addresses of those who edited them?

How?
