That's also true for anyone who uses the "tokeninfo" command...the
information for the entire session is visible.

You can avoid logging the subscribe commands using "nolog" mode.  That
also prevents the commands from appearing in the event log.

It would be possible to add another administrative mode that prevents a
command from being recorded in the session log, or that prevents the
identity of the victim from being recorded.
