What information?
You answered your own question already. He leaked identifying information (his telemetry id) himself.
If 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
It’s more like you didn’t notice that the sign is dangling from your shoelaces.
Dude was a hacker, he should know what using windows means lol
Yes. I didn’t say he was smart. Only that he leaked identifiable information.
No? Microsoft cooperated with the cops to match the ids and identified him. He did not just give out his id like a business card.
Ob-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.
Bruh what information? Name it. I am gonna assume this is just a troll then.
Read 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:
