sh1392··on GitHub censored my research data
We at GitLab believe the author did not responsibly disclose this security information in a proper manner, and today we removed the list of hosts in accordance with our terms of service (https://about.gitlab.com/terms/).

The author says that he contacted "about 30 merchants directly", but the published list includes over 1000 merchants. Most merchants were neither informed nor given a chance to respond in a timely manner. We did not feel comfortable hosting information that could be construed as an open invitation for malicious users to exploit.
