Oh absolutely. My point was strictly the assumption that many people can’t keep secrets. Depending on ideology, reprisals, or personal ethics (good and bad), secrets can be kept by a startlingly large group of people.

I’ve seen estimates as high as 10% of the population of east Germany were spying on their neighbors.

I agree. Humans like sharing things, even if they shouldn't. We're bad at keeping secrets. I was just making the point that your claim of leaks in the military isn't necessarily comparable to a leak about a company. You do have a point about the large numbers of service members - that would raise the chances of something happening.

They are indeed different. But if they were compromised, it doesn't mean that all employees there know. It would probably be a handful of engineers only. Maybe one day one of them will make a blog post with all the details, however, there are more incentives to keep their mouths shut than otherwise. If they come publicly about this, they will get a lot of unwanted exposure (which most people don't like), they will certainly lose their jobs, they will have to talk about that in every job interview they do, they will likely get sued due to NDA breaches, etc which will actually prevent them from being hireable in many places (specially security firms). So, it's much easier for these people, if they morally object this, to just quit, find another job and move on. They'll likely tell their friends and family not to use lastpass, but that will only travel so far.
