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-up1·19 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-up1·18 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.
