The kind folks at thenextweb have a set up a CGI script running against queries against the csv file and are encouraging people to submit their device ID's to "see if they're one the list".
Isn't this the same as when in the aftermath of massive password leaks, people set up websites where you can "check and see if your password was leaked"? What am I missing here?
Isn't the whole point is not to share the device ID or password with anyone? Why should someone send their device ID to thenextweb? What will they do with it?
Q: "Here's my password/device ID. Can you tell me if it's leaked?"
A: "It is now."
