I found that an employee who is no longer with us uploaded a giant Excel file containing HR information into Slack. The file is available to anyone in our Slack and contains names of all current and former employees, their contact details, full names, who has stock options, annual leave entitlements, HR history and various notes about them, but not the compensation details. The file is somehow there and can be found in search, but is not attached to any message or posted into any channel (not sure how that works).
Should I tell our CTO about this? Nobody should really be able to find this information, and we even have some vendors, interns and part-times on our Slack who can probably find it.
On the other hand, I don't have a plausible explanation for how I found this file (yeah, I was poking around our Slack on a weekend to see what I can find). I also think that whatever I say in the future, people will hear it with the thought "oh, this guy had access to our employment records" at the back of their head.
In other words, I lose nothing if I don't report it, and I might lose something if I do. We don't seem to have a method to report things anonymously.
Also, we are a fairly small company (less than 200 people), so we don't have any official published policies regarding any of this.
