I did not see the so-called leak (or at least I think I didn't), but I hope that this was considered.
In a perfect world, people wouldn't spread information FIRST didn't want out there and would report the leak to the proper people. Had I found the leak firsthand, there are about a half-dozen employees at the company I could start Facebook messaging within seconds. Even if I didn't know them personally, the main phone number is not hard to come by.

Alas, we don't live in a perfect world and some people think spreading like this is a fun way to score imaginary internet cool points. Once it's out there, all us moderators can do is stop the bleeding. Yes, it means the people that first saw the thread are now in on the presumed scoop and can do as they please, but it does prevent that from spreading further on the venues we control.
