The real hackers, by the way, that we don’t know who are. It might be TSR but it might also be someone else who then passed the information on to TSR. There is no proof for either – unless Pes knows something he didn’t say.
Pes has stated both on The Cave & GOS that TSR is the responsible party for the hacking.

Quoted from Pes on Sims Cave
No, this entire thing indicates something far more sinister than merely TSR's carelessness with their own member database: It indicates that they ARE, conclusively, in the business of hacking other sites.

Yup. The fact that TSR has acquired the information from it thus functions as clearly as a confession that they were responsible for it. Now, I'm pretty sure we need no additional proof that TSR is in the business of hacking other sites, but here's one more piece of evidence for those who aren't yet convinced.
They are also awfully quick to slap up a denial saying that they didn't leak information from their own databases...even though no one is claiming that, as we have definitive proof that the leaked information is from the Soup's petition thing: We know this because SOME of the leaked names are, in fact, fake, part of a prank pulled by an unrelated agency, and those dox are in the file. Since the fake dox were never registered anywhere, the fact that TSR could leak the fake dox means that this is from the Soup's petition, no doubts.
