i had the same reaction at first, omg everyone knows about view source, this is a non-issue it was PUBLIC! But then the argument about "even if your lock is bad, doesn't mean someone can break into your house and steal your stuff." And I tried to look at that from the point of view of a normal non-tech person who doesn't know about view source or curl, they just know the normal view did not contain the info and someone did something "extra" and found it. I guess it comes down to how obvious and how "extra". Like what if I sent out a paper newsletter to all my neighbors but printed it on recycled paper that happen to have SSN info on the other side. Is it their fault for do something "extra" like turning the paper over and then seeing the other info?

Safari read aloud would have blurted out the SSNs in this case. So even for a layman, the lock analogy falls short.

Court would place responsability on the person who failed to inspect the paper used. There's a reason medical offices all have shredders; you can't reuse paper with patient's personal information on it.

I don't see no extra in either of these situations.

I am living in an apartment complex and I wouldn't mind if someone noticed my keys in my front door, opened that door, took a look and called out for me.

This cannot possibly register as breaking in?

I am not even talking about motive here. The actual event in my mind is clearly benign.
