And would you take that statement at face value from a company that just left their docker based mongo instance Internet public? It’s safe to assume that your info has already been leaked, but situations like this are why that assumption is safe.

I suppose we'll find out if/when the data will be leaked as the hacker claims?

If you give out your personal information to, for example, newsblur- the odds are very, very good that this wasn’t the first time you’ve entrusted a company to protect your privacy, and whether you realize it yet or not- you have already been sorely disappointed.
