That's a pretty brutal bit of public shaming. Would it not have been better for the security community at large to instead reach out to Sven and have him address the issue privately?
- gomoboo 3y agoI agree. I'd expect something like this after reaching out to both Sven and Hilton Hotels with no cooperation from either of them.
- graypegg 3y agoDefinitely. This was obviously a big mistake on Sven’s part but someone just announcing it to the world, presumably making the chance of this being used for something nefarious more likely, and attaching Sven’s full name to it with a link-back so it’ll be caught in search engine results forever… not a great move from the author.
- dang 3y agoThanks. How about we change the URL to the more general article, which has more information and doesn't shame anybody. I've changed it from https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2023/06/12/private-key-redaction-redux.html https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2023/06/12/private-key... now.
- lynx23 3y agoI thought the same when I read this article on Planet Debian. Pretty weird for an organisation that has spent the last 5 to 8 years alienating contributors with CoCs and outreachy projects. Looks like as if the fight isn't over yet.
