I have not been following the case, nor am I an expert on security disclosure. Could you expand on how he has used the data and what was very unethical about the uses made?

EDIT TO ADD: Reading your other postings I think you mean giving a copy of the leaked data to Gawker media was unethical. Is that so bad, considering they redacted it and appeared to generally handle it responsibly?

Yes. Your latter point does (and I cant believe I am saying this...) credit to Gawkers handling of the data. But Goatse handed it out (so far as we know, I admit) with no idea of what would be done with it.

Also from a security perspective (at least from mine) it is just unethical to hand over data you got - no matter how trivial :)
