If GDPR created new vectors of attack which didn't exist before - there's a problem with GDPR even if there are also problems with organizations. Otherwise, you have just created a perfect excuse for any lawmaker: "my law written with good intentions, so not my problem if there are unintended consequences".
- AJ007 7y agoThe only shocking thing to me is this is the first time I’ve seen any story about this hole in the GDPR. This was one of the top reasons we blocked and deleted all EU users. How do I verify that a request is legitimately from a user, short of them arriving in person and providing some biometrics, which presumably we would need to collect from them in the beginning? I have no idea. Any system with a high false negative rate is breaking the law, and one with a high false positive rate seems even worse.
