> Whoever hacked Maza netted thousands of data points about the site’s users, including usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords, a new report from intelligence firm Flashpoint shows. Two warning messages were then scrawled across the forum’s home page: “Your data has been leaked” and “This forum has been hacked.”

Oh no. Not my username, email address and hashed password. I'm shaking right now. But then again there's always some idiot who doesn't try to anonymize.

All it takes is one hit traced to a misconfigured VPN or browser, for example, to learn an IP address and thus real user, at least from a law enforcement perspective… though I suppose the same is true for any honeypot links. Same goes for checking your “anonymous” email, unless the provider is only accessible to check email on Tor, for example. Anonymity, like security, is hard to do 24/7 if someone is actively interested in you…
