n this case, the number might seem random, but all of us can verify that it was the hash of a non-random number. Anyway, I'm still not sure how's this incident related to dice rolls.

flaws in random number generator algorithms i think i heard about how someone exploited that to hack some private keys once. the algo was using the time as a seed or something.
Would you like to share a link?
