Yes, you cannot determine if there is a breach of meaningless data or privacy data without inspection; as a layman, op appears to have downloaded as little as possible and inspected as little as possible to determine the nature of the problem.

So, let me get this straight: you are advocating that white hat hackers download data in bulk to determine whether or not there is a breach of privacy? Do you realize that at that point in time there is a breach?

I'm really more than a little bit surprised that people here don't seem to know the difference between reporting a vulnerability, which has the potential of being exploited and actually exploiting it.
