I would've taken you less time to find the 'sinister' content yourself than leave this sprawling reply

To your point:

It's more likely than not real, it contains configs for the entire site.

Well, so you say, but every single news website that I can find willing to say something on the matter is either The Daily Mail and similar things that also say they based their information on leaks on “social media rumors” or more reputable websites that also say it's a rumor that there's a leak. One would assume if it be so easily found and I'm so incompetent that these news websites could've found it themselves and come with more certain claims.

If you're looking for a link to the results of illegal hacking, then I humbly suggest that aboveboard news sites are not the place to look.

I'm saying I searched and I couldn't find it but what I did find was many news websites that reported it but said they couldn't confirm these rumors themselves and said they were just that, rumors. I found threads about it on other anonymous textboards where people would have no compunction to post the links and yet they didn't. The news sites don't just say “We obviously won't post the links.” but “We couldn't confirm these rumors.”.

Edit: I finally found one news website willing to actually confirm it though. The Daily Dot claims to have accessed the leaked information and verified it for itself.

Click the HN headline, click the 1st external reference, click the 1st thread. The first post is the leaker speaking. Beware that website, the thread, and 4chan itself, are all, at best, in a legal grey area.

I left a clue in my original reply.

I'm not spoonfeeding any harder than that.

Lurk moar or GTFO

Needed this 4chan-esque snark; was almost getting withdrawal shakes.
