Abstract: Leakers, emerging actors in digital capitalism, transform industrial information leaks into media content. Navigating between transgression and dependency, they challenge organizational boundaries while fueling the attention economy. This netnographic study highlights their ambiguous posture: oscillating between disruptive "unfaithful speech" and integration into market logics, they turn disclosure into a consumable product. Lacking a deontological framework, leakers occupy a liminal space where the act of unveiling can either undermine or reinforce organizational power. Ultimately, this raises questions about the political and critical dimensions of these new digital practices.
