I think it's about time that a moderator LOCK this post as there has been no credible evidence that there has been a leak posted and lets quit feeding this troll.

let me guess !! let me guess !!
the email of @johnpoz johnpoz [snipped mod]

johnpoz

@kiokoman no that is not private address that the forum knows about..

kiokoman

@johnpoz
it was here
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/61267/minor-issue-with-client-export-config-commands
maybe you should clean that also
I wanted to show that it is not impossible to find them
also
https://marc.info/?l=pfsense-discussion&r=1&w=2
it's full of information about personal emails for example

johnpoz

@kiokoman thanks - from 2013, wow.. Not sure how I missed that way back then.

But yeah great example..

@johnpoz your email address is also exposed in your Redmine profile, in case you're wondering. You can set it to private in the settings.

@joolee
Might be nice to edit the above to just say your mail address

johnpoz

@joolee thanks - but that is not the address tied to my forum account either.. But another great example on my part ;) showing that email can be harvested without a "breach".. ;)

I get spam every day in my roadside mail box.
Who do I see about that?

johnpoz

@provels I would contact the Postal Service about their breach.. Since clearly that is the only explanation
