minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoYes, it was a stupid mistake. Doesn’t change the definition of “leaking” (as in: information got out that the person supplying the info didn’t want to get out), though.

minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day ago What information? You answered your own question already. He leaked identifying information (his telemetry id) himself.
minus-squareRogueBanana@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·20 hours agoNo? Microsoft cooperated with the cops to match the ids and identified him. He did not just give out his id like a business card.
minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 hours agoOb-iously, he left identifying information at his target. So he leaked it. An information leak is a leak, even if it’s not happening to a company.

minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·21 hours agoIt’s more like you didn’t notice that the sign is dangling from your shoelaces.
minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 hours agoDude was a hacker, he should know what using windows means lol
minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 hours agoYes. I didn’t say he was smart. Only that he leaked identifiable information.
