Maybe, but it could definitely be illegal. Anyone could have the right intentions, but make a mistake during an act of Good Samaritan-ship and get sued.

I think the point was that many people reuse their passwords, so if Google et al were proactive about it, they would force reset passwords for the emails in this leak. But I agree,…

Not me, but a co-worker at an internship I held: Said person entered the number of metric tons of concrete 3 magnitudes higher than it should have been. Imagine the cost difference…
