Calling these "security advisories" is really misleading. I keep some of my financial calculations in Excel spreadsheets and even in text documents. Does that mean you'll be issuing a security advisory on Excel or emacs next? And heaven knows, these files are stored in files on disk drives... will you be issuing a security advisory that disks present a risk? I'm having a hard time seeing any value to these "disclosures" other than if the goal is to get press attention. Running P2P sharing is the risk; these are examples of why people who choose to use P2P need to be cautious of what they share.
