I suppose this could be an interesting attack vector on folks. Pick a group you hate, create a website specifically targeted at that group, get their personal information, and then have a "data breach". Just being part of some groups could seriously impact people in certain circles.
Its not like there is much risk for the website owners given past breaches. At worst you fold the company and even that isn't very certain since TOS seems to be king.
- pbarnes_1 8y ago"Emily Moreno, the app’s founder and a former aide to Sen. Marco Rubio" Seems unlikely in this case.
- protomyth 8y agoSen. Marco Rubio is not a Trump fan (now that is an understatement), so I'm not sure that makes it less likely. I have doubts in this case and chalk it up to crappy developers unless something more comes of it. It still seems like an attack vector that has a really good risk / reward ratio. Thinking about it, it also seems like an interesting way to feed an election campaigns big data.
- AnarchoYeasty 8y agoFairly sure you just described a honey pot. It's often times fake petitions and email groups, but this is a common tactic among anti-fascists (and fascists too for that matter). Removing the element of anonymity of your opponent is a hugely powerful weapon.
