>2. The fact that they're using "something" bleed as the name (creativity, please)

Seriously, it isn't even a data leak.

And someone took the time to register a domain and design the page and logo...
bleed is a nod to the vuln "heartbleed", not to leaks.
Incorrect, heartbleed caused leaks from the servers affected. This is not even vulnerability it's just a stupid design decision that someone can MitM.
This issue should have been called Ant-in-the-Middle.
That's actually a great name for it or something along the lines of killswitch. Maybe AntKill or MinerRaid.
Yes, and the "bleed" in "heartbleed" comes from the fact that data was being leaked (bleeding out).
Which leaked (bleed) core (heart) information.
