I’d categorize that as an exfohazard rather than an infohazard.
Info on how to build a nuke using nothing but parts of a microwave doesn’t harm the bearer, except possibly by way of some other cognitive flaw/vulnerability (e.g. difficulty keeping secrets)
Maybe “cognitohazard” is a closer word to the thing I’m trying to point towards. Though, I would be interested in learning about pure infohazards that aren’t cognitohazards.
(If you know of one and want to share it with me, it may be prudent to dm rather than comment here)
