My read was that BlackCat only got non-prod data. So perhaps it’s sourcecode.

In which case… they’ve likely got nothing of value other than the code used to track users.

@dismalnow having the code out there that Reddit uses to track accounts doesn’t give me warm fuzzies. I’m not a technical guy but it seems that it would be better if that code had not been hacked and put in the hands of people with malicious intent. I have to defer to others on whether the hack compromises Reddit users’ security.
