So?

It's exactly the same as Wikipedia; yet nobody calls Wikipedia a "sensitive database."

I mean "So?" from a privacy standpoint, from a business standpoint it's an issue for Dow Jones.

Wikipedia is a sensitive database.

Mostly the sensitivity is in controlling write access rather than read though.

This database is the equivalent of a collection of terrorists' Wikipedia page. That's not a "sensitive database."
