Cryptome Accidentally Leaks Its Own Visitor IP Addresses (dailydot.com)

An anonymous reader writes with this Daily Dot story about an accidental leak of user info from Cryptome. Cryptome, the Internet's oldest document-exposure site, inadvertently leaked months worth of its own IP logs and other server information, potentially exposing details about its privacy-conscious users. The data, which specifically came from the Cartome sub-directory on Cryptome.org, according to Cryptome co-creator John Young, made their way into the wild when the site logs were included on a pair of USB sticks sent out to a supporter.

Why does an anonymous leak site even store identifying information? Isn't the best defense to never even keep the data?
