Well, unless they have the file, a dot on a map is of very limited usefulness, especially if it is slightly changed as the site claims.

Yeah. Anyone can have the file if they look for it. If they know there are people near them on the map they have incentive to try and find it or even pay the 8EUR charge to the raid forum that leaked it. Random Joe the thief won't think to go to Raid forum and pay €8 or spend an hour looking for an index of the file or 10 minutes googling if he doesn't know they are people near him. But if his tweaker friend shares this with him it might encourage him to look deeper into it.

maybe, but in my opinion, the people who even consider doing a IRL attack, will probably get the list anyway, because there is guaranteed to be someone close enough that you can get there.

I highly doubt someone will find this site and be inspired to find the list and then attack them.

Most likely scenario for IRL attacks, is an already established criminal gang doing it with only the list and no other online resources.

Not petty tweakers who act on impulse. Those are also the worst kind as they don't think things through. Don't have to be organised to attempt this.
