I agree that it's likely a log file. I remember hearing about Twitter doing this (I also just found out that github may have done this as well).

I worked at a place where on incorrect login, we recorded your attempt (with whatever was in the user/password field) into the logs. The logs went to data warehouse too. That was a fun day in the office :P

Exactly. They've got Kibana or similar setup with uri traces, tonnes of companies have been caught up with this same issue.

Not palantir, their logging system defaults to not writing unknown values.
