How often do you zoom in on public releases to see if anyone posted their crypto keys?

Sure, the chances aren't zero, but they're lower than doing it when you're one of three people with access or whatever.

I'm not looking to steal people's crypto. North Korea on the other hand makes billions a year finding ways to steal cryptocurrency online. If your crypto keys get leaked online in any form, I would consider that money gone because of all the highly skilled and motivated people actively trying to take it. Not that it would take an incredible amount of skill to write a scraping bot that uses ocr+regex.
