I don't think labor unions are goi to run a scam like that. This is ridiculous. Walmart has all this information in dbs right now and they're way more likely to get hacked.
You make a good point, however the real threat isn't "Our Walmart" but "R Walmart" "Are Walmart" "Our Target" and so forth.
I have faith that the app market is so hypersaturated that any scheme that doesn't epic fail immediately spawns hundreds of clones.
"Our Walmart" is probably legit, although probably a smaller harder to defend target and the problem is going to be inevitable clones and scams.
There is also the meta-threat of normalizing sharing employer information. Sure maybe 99% of people who ask for my IP address or a list of ciphers my sshd permits are really not up to anything bad, but it would be bad to get in the habit of telling rando requesters anything they ask. So, among others, I allow aes256-gcm in my corporate sshd config... and what possible good could come from people answering questions like that ?
