Reminds me lightly of when I was in high school, email was fairly new -- especially at a school. My friend at a fancy private school had a Linux machine to access, and she really wanted to know what someone else had said about her. I managed to script kiddy my way in leveraging her existing shell login, got root, and read the email. What I didn't realize was that my .history file contained everything I had done. Eventually the sysadmin wrote me an email saying he knew what was going on and wanted to meet up, stating 'he wouldn't cuff me' and that he was 'a chill dude'. I was obviously scared, deleted everything, and tried to pretend nothing ever had happened.
Luckily no one got in trouble (meaning me or my friend). Not so sure this would happen in 2021.
