Heh, I do know that to some extent, but I feel like it’s a different issue. We are all submitting sensitive data all the time, and trusting that whatever service we are using (and the services they in turn are using) will handle our secrets responsibly.

But that stuff is regulated by laws (GDPR etc.) and, at least to some degree, self-regulated by economic principles (leaking passwords or credit cards should be bad for business). More importantly, though, it isn’t in itself a violation of security best practices. You often have to submit sensitive information to live in the modern world.

What is totally unnecessary, though, is for highly trusted services to teach people to share sensitive files unreservedly, just because they are really nice to have during debugging.
