I think this is a matter of coincidence. The lock and chat bubble leads itself to a familiar look. I'm pretty sure you aren't the first person to think of such a concept, and neither are we.

Besides, the icon was made by an anonymous person so it's not really like we can blame anyone.

Isn't that convenient?

Because we made this project just to violate copyright. Sure thing.

I think their point was that the person who made the icon is anonymous, so it's harder to blame and therefor benefits you. Not that you had that goal in mind to begin with.

I understand that. It's still a ridiculous claim.

If you don't know the identity of the person who created your logo, how can you be sure that they didn't steal it?

Sounds like you know a lot about this. Maybe it was you all along then. Just confess and save us all a lot of trouble.
