You're not old enough to be that cynical. ;-)

Seriously, they may not have changed anything, but it's more likely that 
they did change something and aren't disclosing the specifics of what 
they changed so as to protect their customers.  That's probably what I'd 
do - never give the 'bad guys' any additional information they can use to 
game the system or steal from people.
