    I mean how anonymous you need to be depends entirely on how legal the method you found the data is.

      Not really. I’ve heard stories about people getting sued after finding vulnerabilities. Of course the cases would get thrown out, but that’s assuming you can eat the mountains of legal fees it’ll take to actually get to a judge.

        Yep which is why you involve serious investigative journalists (what few are left). Not as good as going through a lawyer but they do have a tendency to protect their sources.
