- gabipurcaru 5y agoSame as the recent FB and Linkedin incidents. It's all scraped data. Doesn't mean that collecting public data at scale is not something bad
- kostarelo 5y agoWhich one are you referring to? The recent millions of contacts that were exposed from FB contained phone numbers. It had my phone number and it's not public.
- eurasiantiger 5y agoIs now.
- kostarelo 5y agoYup, wrong tense used. :(
- lovedswain 5y agoIt's a fabulous resource, I've already used it to identify unknown numbers sending me messages on Signal
- Kiro 5y agoStill just scraping. They iterated every phone number on the planet. https://twitter.com/mikko/status/1379686946117668867 https://twitter.com/mikko/status/1379686946117668867
- p49k 5y agoIs it public info who invited you to the Clubhouse app? If not, that would assume some kind of breach, since that info is part of the leak.
- saurik 5y ago> Is it public info who invited you to the Clubhouse app? Yes: that is public info. This is all no more a "leak" than the original service is a "leak" of itself.

- wongmjane 5y agoBesides, the name, username, profile picture, etc are publicly accessible via permalinks For example: https://www.joinclubhouse.com/@clubhouse https://www.joinclubhouse.com/@clubhouse
- ThomPete 5y agoEveryone can see who invited you to Clubhouse down in the bottom of the profile.
- Kiro 5y agoIt's not only public, it's central to the whole concept. You can always walk up your tree to see who the original member in your line is.

- xyst 5y agoI agree. This "hack" is the equivalent of any search engine indexing public Facebook or LinkedIn profiles.
