I don't like this being listed on ycombinator. I have now just gone to a site with all the passwords on, I was expecting an article about it. I do not like the fact that I have just browsed that page!

Don't worry, citizen, you'll have plenty of time to explain it to the proper authorities.

I agree actually. I have no reason to actually want to see their private information. I do want to know what happened.

  Exactly, and that is how it normally is on ycombinator. If there's a link to the actual data on the article, then whoever wants to go to that, go ahead, but I stay away.

Maybe I'm very naive but I have a hard time imagining one would get into trouble by browsing such a list now that it's in the open. Thousands of people are browsing this list right now....

  It's half principle and I think that I would worry about things like that. I have no idea what kind of monitoring tools and methods the FBI have and I don't want any attention because someone linked a load of passwords to ycombinator and I went to it expecting a fairly inocent article :)

  Agencies deflect blame from the sources by harassing the messengers and recipients.

It's linked to a pastebin... should be obvious what's likely to be there.

  I haven't used pastebin...

This is Hacker News...I appreciate the direct source of the leak. Not some shitty article that someone wrote about what happened. If you don't like it, don't click it.

  The title is "FBI got Hacked, Reveals Hundreds of Passwords" and while it does point to pastebin, the title reads like the title of an article. So it's hard to know not to click it until you click it. If the title did a better job indicating what the content was, you could both be happy.
