Payments? it's one single payment to one winner Also, how is it more data than when you buy a coffee? Unless you're cash-only. I know everyone has their own unique risk profile (e.g. the PIN to open the door to the hangar where Elon Musk keeps his private jet is worth a lot more 'in the wrong hands' than the PIN to my front door is), but I think for most people the value of a single unit of "their data" is near $0.00.

> Payments? it's one single payment to one winner How do you know? They can tell everyone they've won and snack their data. It's not a verifiable public contest. > Also, how is it more data than when you buy a coffee? Coffee-shop has no other personal data and is usually using other payment-methods. But still, there have been cases of misusage. > but I think for most people the value of a single unit of "their data" is near $0.00. This is a classical scenario for social engineering, and we are in a high profile social group here. There is a good chance that someone from a big company is participating here. This is not about stealing some peanuts or selling a handful or data on the darknet. It's about collecting personal data and scouting potential victims for a future attacks. And I'm not saying this is an actual case happening here, but to not even see the problem is..interessting.
