Flagging because the data leak dates back to at least 2010 and in circulation everywhere for years. Nothing new here.

I have not studied the content yet but after your comment I checked and also found this reddit thread[1] claiming it is old. But not sure if anyone has actually validated the content and confirmed that it is indeed old.

Also not sure if @CthulhuSec is actually Anonymous. It was @YourAnonNews who picked up the news and made it look like it was Anonymous responsible as far as I can tell. Thomas White (CthulhuSec) also has pointed out that it has nothing to do with Anonymous.

I double checked that they actually used the word "unleashes". Rather dramatic (but did make me click)

We s/unleash/releas/'d it, since HN's rules ask submitters to take clickbait out of titles.
