Huh, I looked through the website of the hacking team and they use slurs and talk about posting on 4chan, it's not a great look for a group trying to get on the good side of creative peoples imo
Plus in their blog post they mention that they haven't read through most of the leaks themselves so they don't even know what kind of info they might be posting about potentially unrelated people, in an attack on "AI" that won't stop disney even a little bit. Like, I understand the desire to help creative people but I don't see how this is doing that
If you're a grey-hat/chaotic-good hacker intent on exposing corporate greed or whatever, with a cache like that, you've got a couple options....either release inmediately, or review the data to minimize collateral damage and release.
If the intent was to help people, and there was no driving force to release immediately, then they should've waited and reviewed the data.
I really worry if this is going to lead to my overly-ambitious infosec group putting the kibash on our unofficial/shadow-IT (fully internal) MatterMost.
Review the data cost your time (which is work time, could be transfer into money).
So, better release it all.
