Well, thats what you get for sending confidential information over plaintext. Most of the stuff I've seen is just status updates anyways, probably irrelevant after 8 years.

It can be irrelevant after 8 years, but could be relevant for someone that could act on it at the moment it was captured. Maybe for some social engineering attack.
