minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months 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-squareRogueBanana@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoWhat information? There was no leak, he was identified by telemetry id which overlapped with multiple previous offences.
minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months ago What information? You answered your own question already. He leaked identifying information (his telemetry id) himself.
minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoIf you’re holding out a big ass sign “Hi I’m X” then someone finding out that you’re X isn’t exactly a leak, innit
minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoIt’s more like you didn’t notice that the sign is dangling from your shoelaces.
minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoDude was a hacker, he should know what using windows means lol
minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoYes. I didn’t say he was smart. Only that he leaked identifiable information.
minus-squareRogueBanana@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·2 months 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-up0arrow-down1·2 months 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-squareRogueBanana@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·2 months agoBruh what information? Name it. I am gonna assume this is just a troll then.
minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 months agoRead a few comments to the top: It uas a device ID. If you don’t think that counts as information, then I got nothing more to tell you. You bore me, bye:
