Clubhouse data leak: 1.3M user records leaked online for free
- underseacables 6y agoIt seems like everything they have is basically information that you can find by looking at someone’s clubhouse profile. I thought they had something serious like a phone number.
- hashhar 6y agoLooks like it's a scrape of public profile information from Clubhouse. Also it reads more like an advertisement for the author's services. I'd like to see a more credible source.
- doron2402 6y agoso? Once you enter your information online assume it's public on way or another.
- yladiz 6y agoIn this case it seems to just be data scraped from people’s public profiles, but would you say the same thing if their more private data, like phone number, was leaked?
- f430 6y agotold ya this would happen!! my comment clubhouse had servers in PRC got downvoted hard last week
- tjpnz 6y agoThe physical location of the servers has nothing to do with what happened here.
- MattGaiser 6y agoThis seems more like a scrape than a leak. I’m not sure companies can really be blamed for scrapes of public information.
- tyingq 6y agoWhat a Clubhouse profile looks like: https://www.askdavetaylor.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/clubhouse-set-up-profile-3.png?ezimgfmt=ng:webp/ngcb8 https://www.askdavetaylor.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/clu... I don't see anything on the picture of the data sample that isn't on the profile, which appears to be visible to anyone with a Clubhouse account: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/fkWQSg-hl1V2-fwpS2VJy3CGR0zBx7YgZAlB1gdvpr1YYxLrOTvlwr9vQ7VcymtQza2Kn3EdLjwWPRb5-A21mvl9uNjyqi_ealPcx2-CWoS4iVoVw6S0PRV5TVh8EjhMyTITGk_F https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/fkWQSg-hl1V2-fwpS2VJy3CGR0... The Clubhouse user ids also appear to be sequential, so this looks like a pretty low effort endeavor.
- Mandatum 6y agoYeah Clubhouse has already been scraped, I was taking a look at their API the other day it’s pretty much public by default. Someone with enough accounts and IPs could stream every Clubhouse room theoretically.
- throwaway81523 6y agoI've been too cynical to look into it further, but it sounds to me that Clubhouse is what we used to call a conference call. Is it really different than that? Just wondering.
