So, yesterday I posed a question where I supplied two dmesg | tail outputs, plus uname -a and ls -a /boot. It disclosed my system time and my username, (plus my VPN provider and other software).

I was searching for hits on some of the dmesg output, and found a pastebin page with all of the code I put into that post. Nothing else, just the code from my post.

It was put there by a guest and at the time of writing it had 63 unique views. Are you kidding??

I wasn't expecting any of that, especially since no-one has responded to the question on the forum.

Frankly, I'm a little freaked out. :/

I searched for "askubuntu pastebin" but didn't come up with anything satisfactory.

My worst fears are that I have somehow advertised a vulnerability and I'm identifiable and there's a group of hackers coming to get me.

What is really going on, please? Or do I really have to worry now?

Thanks
