and when they persist -- despite multiple warnings that what they're doing could be dangerous -- to dig and dig and dig?

You can't control than. A single individual to dig, dig, dig, and publish is sufficient to do the damage.

Safeguards have to be implemented elsewhere.

I mean, you won't protect your computer system not by relying on any legislation that forbids hacking, but by implementing and properly configuring a firewall. Sure, you could blame and accuse a hacker, but then the damage is already done. Better avoid it in the first place!

Still you can only reduce the probability that secrets get revealed, but you cannot eliminate it.
