I suggest that you contact some cable TV operators in big US cities, where they might remember counter-piracy measures on the early analogue cable systems. It was many years ago now, but there was indeed a "bullet" transmitted by a US cable operator which exploited a weakness in early pirated STBs, so as to disable them. It is unclear whether such weaknesses still exist in more recently hacked STBs. This is what they mean when they say a hacked STB is now "bullet-proof".
