So the term "white hat" is being brought into question. I'm not sure what this dude did was "white hat". He took stolen data from dark web and copied it to the web.. Seems like a shade of darkness in the "white hat"... Maybe he did do EVERYTHING he could to contact the proper people. Is there a process documented for how to handle whistleblowing in this situation?

I am not saying he was a white hat. He also did not copy data to the web he copied it from the dark web and showed it to local media. He only showed it to local media after the city refused to meet.
So he did contact all the proper people and he found data that was being sold.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. My web2 feeds are telling me all sorts of different versions of this. I've not even had to read a single article to be kept abreast on this.
