Same 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

Which 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.

Still just scraping. They iterated every phone number on the planet.
