Sensitive documents globally announced to non permitted members

Who decided that exposing what files members were currently working on available organisation wide at any permission level was a good thing?

If on a SharePoint Site and you have a member of leadership added their profile into the People widget and then any member including those with the lowest permission were to click on that leadership profile it exposes what "Recent files and email attachments..." that person has been working on. From an HR perspective this is an absolute nightmare to have discovered!

A similar issue was found on the home page that again exposes this level of detail which was more obvious and we closed down promptly - seriously Microsoft what were you devs thinking adding this by default!
