It would be helpful to know if this is a second leak or just reposting of old news.

7th June... not July.

Again?

Here's an useful link for current users, so you don't have to look too deep: https://www.last.fm/settings/account (Hint: "Delete account")

Nope. From the article: "7th June 2012"

This appears to be the same leak we were talking about a month ago. Probably an honest mistake by the poster (since it is the seventh now, again), but this was from June.

I loosely glimpsed at the date and fell for the same thing.

I'm certainly tempted. Though on the other hand, I almost have 50K scrobbles...
