insecure Private Channels!

I have noticed that Private channels field values can be read without read API keys using below request:

https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/{channel_Id}/fields/field1/last.html

it will make that channel insecure.

Am i missing something?

I just verified that it DOES NOT work for me, as expected and my data is still secure.

Can you set up a private channel without secure data as a test and share the ID so I can try accessing it?
