2000 "journalists" who attended E3 got pretty much doxxed


Recommended Posts

From buzzfeed and IGN to Polygon and Mixer etc. all their personal information, phone numbers and (email) addresses have been leaked in a spreadsheet posted on kiwifarms.net 

The info is out in the open, 4chan already smelled blood and everyone is shitting their pants and already getting harrassed.

 

 

"The official E3 Expo website had an insecure Excel spreadsheet with over 2000 addresses of journalists and content creators currently registered to attend E3 this year. Here it is.

If you're wondering: No, the Wordpress directory was not password protected. No, the Excel Spreadsheet containing the PID of 2000+ people was not password protected. The directory itself was dated for May 2019, so it had been there since then. Journalist Sophia Narwitz claims it had been linked to in public articles on the E3 Expo website for over a month and reports about it had been ignored.

That's all boring. Here's the funny.

This is one of the rare times where I sigh in relief of the fact that SW.com is now a fraction of its former size, and that we're all pretty much into our 30's now. There's no way this would not have gotten out of hand here if this was 2006... :D

A lot of them on twitter are gearing up for a class action lawsuit... and rightfully so.

 

Especially when you take into consideration how fucked up "gamers" are.. Those who would actively seek out this information and cause living hell for games journalists... it actually IS the embodiment of a nightmare situation.  People out there are fucking crazy..  There's been drive-by shootings at the homes of Twitch streamers, there's all kinds of stalking and terrorizing... swatting, malicious phone calls and death threats...  It's completely fucked.  Then when you consider these people have families... little children... 

 

Yea... no.  That's where shit becomes really scary.  This is a monumental fuck up... and they deserve to go down for this imo.
