The scary part is that TechCrunch isn't the only place these documents will land up at. Other recipients of these documents won't be so scrupulous about not posting sensitive information. I imagine Twitter is going through a lot of hassle around resetting security codes, reaching out to interview candidates, employees taking measures to protect identity theft, etc. Just a nightmare.

The other scary scenario is that this "hacker croll" has more documents which he hasn't shared yet. When the original HL2 code was stolen from Valve, Gabe Newell was contacted later with additional documents (which lead to that person getting arrested)
