  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.

        As someone else already told you:

        It was a specific device ID unique to every computer, that Windows pings to Microsoft every once in a while.

        If you don’t think that counts as information, then I got nothing more to tell you.

        You bore me, bye:

  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.

        Yes. I didn’t say he was smart. Only that he leaked identifiable information.
