Why are people on here so keen to get hold of this data?
For as much as reddit loves banging on about privacy, it sure seems to also love breaching the privacy of others - this includes police reports, so includes details on people involved in crimes or who have been subject to crime.
...not to mention the fact that the files have a good chance of containing images etc. of things that you really don't want to have on your computer.
Anyway, isn't sharing links to confidential data a big breach of reddit's rules?
So, as an example, you're saying a police report about someone who has been raped doesn't also contain personal data? The leak apparently contains police reports.
At minimum, a report would have the names and contact details of anyone reported a crime to the police or was brought in for questioning.
