Well, the code-breaking didn't help with Pearl Harbor. The Japanese Navy observed strict radio blackout and the diplomatic intercepts were not specific about actions beyond breaking off negotiations. So, no, I don't think they were handing out names and addresses of spies.

I'm glad you acknowledge that their were Japanese sympathizers and spies active in Hawaii. They kindly provided Japan with detailed information about fleet moorings and such, contributing to the success of the sneak attack that killed 2,500 Americans.
