I think we're watching the implosion of the cloud. Those leaks are not even illegal, yet they will lead to a lot of spam, a lot of phishing, and a lot of other clumsy actions by clumsy actors that will alienate users and make them more reluctant to give their information next time. At least, i hope we re post peak cloud and falling fast into the norm of the internet the way it was meant to be: pseudonymous
- runeks 6y agoI don’t get it. This “leaked” information looks like something that would be displayed on a public website for each user. As far as I can see it’s just public information, like user names and avatars on e.g. stack overflow.
- cblconfederate 6y agoThe difference is it's all in a SQL dump that any kiddo can use to spam. Ease of use matters
- zepto 6y agoDo you think this additional spam will be noticeable on top of what is already there?
- cblconfederate 6y agophone/sms spam is definitely more noticeable and actually hard to block
