The linked to Reddit thread doesn’t make sense. The submitted screenshot refers to someone doing a public crawl. The top comment refers to escalated user privileges. It’s true that yesterday, Parler’s user email/phone verification was down, letting people create new accounts without restriction. But I don’t see how that led to creating admin accounts.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoWith email verification down, the "reset password" seems to have required no verification other than having the username. So they grabbed an admin account and made scores of new admins. Or I misread something.
- hehehaha 6y agoOnce a couple services went down and their endpoints were inadvertently made public by the service providers making announcements, it was fait accompli. Turns out Parler was not made with security and privacy in mind AT ALL. It was slightly better than MVP.
