Hi, I'm a journalist. I’ve found your passwords and social security number. No need to ask how. Do I have the right to sell those to anyone who wants?

- dalke 3y agoI don't think you'll get much for my personal number (the equivalent of the US social security number). Anyone, including you, can call the tax office at +46 8 564 851 60 and get it for free. Profiting off a secret password is not intrinsically illegal. The journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding famously made the WikiLeaks password "SplinterItIntoAThousandPiecesAndScatterItIntoTheWinds" public when they included it in a book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks:_Inside_Julian_Assange%27s_War_on_Secrecy#Publication_of_the_password https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks:_Inside_Julian_Assan... They didn't get special permission to sell that manuscript to the publisher. Besides, all of my passwords contain secret information concerning Swedish defense installations, making them illegal for you to publish. /wink
