Don't hate on Kati based on one action (that neither of us know a lot about). She's done a hell of a lot for this site (which I do know), currently she isn't even gaining anything (cba thinking up possible rewards [mental rewards etc]) for helping the site; be a bit more thankful or even just ignore the thread at the very least.
stahp, you have no idea at all what happened, and except for kati herself, i doubt ANYBODY on this forum knows 100% of the story
the fact that nothing was shared about it makes it worse. I cant imagine any possible situation that an action like that would be acceptable. if some one was threatened then contact the authorities.
the points made on this thread, however ironic, make a lot of sense.
i dont mean to turn this into a flame and will not post on this thread again. my only point is you dont keep information that makes you look good secret. You may give her the benefit of the doubt but the only fact we have is she was responsible for the leak and no one seems to know or care why.
Unfortunately, it isn't pheasable to brief people that are interested; you'll just have to accept that you don't know enough and you may give your a mild variant of opinion on the matter.. but for all you know all the information you know may be wrong even if told by Admins (they could lie to protect the site etc; lying isn't always for a bad reason).
+ A lil bit extra based on my analysis of the matter itself (based on what I have heard), the leak wasn't nearly as bad as it could've been; assuming what we do know is accurate we got of lightly. I'm sure if she felt their was a way to remedy the issue that she felt more comfortable with she would have done it. Life isn't just black and white (i.e. from personal experience I can tell you that the police are completely useless at times); I'd still of understood it if she leaked the passwords. The compromisation of a site isn't as big of a deal as the possible loss of life (there's a reason why the police take threats so seriously, being overcautious at times is better than shrugging threats of) - I'm sure most people that rob stores etc wouldn't kill but people still are scared and hand over the cash/goods - same situation different context.
