I don’t get it. It appears that what is being “leaked” is quoted that users are choosing to share publicly on a public web page which then gets indexed by search engines.

What’s the actual vulnerability here?

The only “vulnerability” is the short seller saying that they were able to log into the users account, but if they were able to log into the users account, why were they only able to access their name and quote, information the users had chosen to share publicly, and were not able to access a whole host of other data that would be available if one were able to log in to a users account.
