If it's out there, it's out there. People with bad intentions know how to find it anyway. Meanwhile, the rest of us would like to check if any of our data has been compromised. Hiding this stuff helps no one.

- proexploit 15y agoRight, I'm not suggesting it's a good idea to try and hide all signs of leaked details as I think that would be a futile effort, just arguing that re-sharing leaked information isn't harmless.
