Initially, I was shocked that they would post the stolen information. Eventually I realized that this is going to be publicly available regardless of whether Techcrunch posts it or not. The information would be released elsewhere. As a news site, they are unable to ignore its existence.

Techcrunch has discussed this with Twitter. They have also decided not to release private information. From this I can say that they are being fair about this.

This does suck for Twitter. Though, it does bring to light the potential dangers of using a web service to host your confidential documents.
