    Usually what happens is that these sorts of blackmailers will leak small, verifiable pieces of data so people know they really got something. We don’t see that here, so for now there’s no reason to take them seriously yet.

      It would still be really easy for Reddit to say “nah homie, thats not our data” even if it is and even if Reddit knows that it is.

      How are the hackers able to verify that the data did come from Reddit?
