Definitely. This was obviously a big mistake on Sven’s part but someone just announcing it to the world, presumably making the chance of this being used for something nefarious more likely, and attaching Sven’s full name to it with a link-back so it’ll be caught in search engine results forever… not a great move from the author.

Thanks. How about we change the URL to the more general article, which has more information and doesn't shame anybody.

I've changed it from https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2023/06/12/private-key... now.

The original article is also shaming someone, although from 3 years ago maybe it's less an issue now (?)

Ah - I didn't realize. I hope you're right about the latter.

I agree. I'd expect something like this after reaching out to both Sven and Hilton Hotels with no cooperation from either of them.

I thought the same when I read this article on Planet Debian. Pretty weird for an organisation that has spent the last 5 to 8 years alienating contributors with CoCs and outreachy projects. Looks like as if the fight isn't over yet.
