I also believe it'll be different in every circumstance. If the person I promised to keep the secret for was in danger, I would brake that promise and try to help. If the person I promised to keep the secret for was doing something highly illegal and/ or putting others in danger, I would like to think I'd break that promise. Truly though, that's an incredibly difficult question to answer. There are millions of different scenarios that I could be presented with, so who knows how I'd react in each.
I will point out that making that decision to break a promise will always be difficult, even if it's justified and whatnot. I think it just depends on the situation, and what the results of it all will be.
