That phrasing, while clinical and professional, hides some of the simplicity of what happened.

I say an attacker "called up and asked nicely"

If you decide to follow me because I like OpenBSD or write tips about vi, be warned:

I believe:
-CoCs are good
-LGBTQA folks are awesome and deserve rights just like any of us
-Women and minorities have been screwed in tech and we need to fix it
-Nazis deserve punching
-As a white dude, if you/I get called out on something we did, the best response is to apologize and stop talking
-Meritocracies aren't

If you take issue with any of these statements, this place is not for you.

Why yes, I do have something to hide! These things may or may not include:

* Financial records
* Info on people's relationships and sexuality
* Trade secrets
* Military intelligence
* Embarrassingly bad art
* Identification
* Medical details

Having secrets is not wrong.
