Changes to A.S.

[Nechtán]

If a new duping exploit is discovered, then you're right that kind of equipment will again be common, but if not, then there's no way that that gear will be generally available "about one week after the release of 1.10"

That's exactly what I mean - the hackers are more than prepared for 1.10. The existence of unrevealed, undetected, undetectable hacks is known among everyone including Blizzard themselves, but they can't do anything about it. The hackers are just keeping them a secret until 1.10 hits. And they will use them. The thousands of $$$ that can be gained for ladder items on Ebay are too tempting.
