- A new open-source tool, PastEye (https://github.com/shayanjm/pasteye/), was shared for monitoring Pastebin for sensitive data leaks.  
- Channel members demonstrated continued heavy use of the “paperbot” service to retrieve pay-walled academic papers; two successful fetches were logged (an IEEE paper on fabrication of logic circuits and an IngentaConnect article from the Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience).  
- One attempted APA PsycNet paper could not be retrieved because it remained behind a $11.95 paywall, highlighting ongoing friction in accessing psychology/cognition literature.  
- A Reddit Scholar request (http://www.reddit.com/r/Scholar/comments/1x51fg/request_fabrication_of_logic_circuits_based_on/) was noted as still unfilled, illustrating the community’s reliance on informal networks to bypass publisher restrictions.  
- Chris_99 mentioned having previously built a Pastebin-scraping script specifically to hunt for leaked credit-card numbers, underscoring DIY security-research culture in the channel.
