It's a product key for an old no longer supported* product.
yea but it's still a valid key! the opsec part of me is dying atm.
I don't think a product key is directly a security risk. Though the sloppy undisciplined nature of this release is indirectly a risk I suppose.
I don't believe it's a security risk either, however it's considered a secure token/crediential, so those aren't supposed to be given public.
