I came across a data leak that exposes details on some of the game's hidden mechanics.
This is a tracking bug -- I've mailed Chedburn the details.

To help staff with their goal of making everything easy to understand with nothing hidden you really should just tell everyone
That's fixed! There was a raw data for for items in response at one of the pages - it's already refactored actually and ready to be pushed with next update, however in't not hard to tweak existed one also.
Since you didn't even mention non-items data, is it okay to research those until push, then?
I can't speak for Ched (or Mauk)... but full public disclosure of any unpatched/unmitigated bug is not an option in ANY Cybersecurity playbook. (refer to NIST, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, etc...)
At most...
1. You share that the incident happened (depending on the nature of the incident and the industry in question) - DONE (thanks Mauk)
and, if possible
2. Tell the affected parties what they can do in response. - kinda done (I read it as: "nothing people can do, wait til patch day")
Fun times.

What are you on about? this isn't reading as anything serious it's reading like way back when the site was leaking travel times...... and if you have been keeping up with anything that has been happening you will of seen ched saying things in the game should be open and not hidden so people know what is going on...... which this thread with it's calls of "hidden mechanics" does not gell with.
