My old company did exactly this. We would remote log into out clients computers and beging scraping all of their linkedIn contacts and 'signing' them up to our service for them to use as recruiters. This still happens post GDPR.

Wasn't that already illegal prior to GDPR?
You're correct. More punishable is probably more fitting.
