At that instant it ceased to be a secret, regardless of what may or may not happen in the future.
When I was very young my father asked me "If you want something to be a secret, how many people can you tell?" I got it wrong by answering "one".
Surely, it's still a secret as long as everybody in the know means to keep it. Otherwise, how would blackmail be possible?
