Because I had a similar thought when Twitch's code "leaked" and I never got round to asking: is it illegal under US law to download such a leak for private inspection? That is, illegal in a way beyond copyright violation, such as being party to an act of espionage.<p>(<i>This</i> leak doesn't interest me at all, but if ever the source for QBasic leaked, say.. well I might like to read it without becoming a wanted fugitive ;-))
It's too bad it's always existing companies that get their source leaked. Just once I'd like to see "Archive of Digital Equipment Corporation source code leaked online". I can dream...
It saddens me that Microsoft cannot properly implement zero trust principles or account based access control to their DevOps environment. VDI and VPNs are not secure, no networks are secure!
So 37GB of source code is clearly a lot, but for someone unenlightened what kind of size are we looking at for the bigger projects? For example, Windows, Office, Exchange.
It's crazy the leaking group is offering people who work at likely targets money.<p>Like, what's the exit strategy there? They use your credentials, leak stuff, and you take the fall?
