“leaked” has also subtly changed meaning from the actual product (such as a game being released early through piracy etc) to just information about the product.
Just no… Information getting out despite attempts to conceal it, is the secondary meaning of that verb since at least the 19th century.
Thanks for the correction. The latter meaning did gain more prominence in recent years in my perception, but it’s not surprising that it already existed in the past.
