Why would you want to submit hundreds (or thousands) of abstract submissions to a call for papers? It would certainly cause the conference organizers a lot of trouble but what other benefit is there? I don't see how the author could have gotten someone else's details (divulging potentially sensitive information) nor improve his chances of acceptance as a speaker by gaming the system -- the only two benefits I can see from "0wning" the system.

The author isn't "0wning" anything. He is just pointing the way to cause trouble.

Agree. Most CFP also only provide an email address (not a form), so he can spam it to death as well ...
