Regardless, poetic justice is more about fate making the good guys get their reward while still being good and the bad guys get punished as a result of their actions. This isn't a case of fate. It's a case of someone (deliberately) posting someone's social security numbers online for everyone to see. Was that the just thing to do? I suppose that's debatable. But I don't think it meets the literary definition of poetic justice.
