You’d think that someone who was a DHS chief and ‘Head of National Security Policy’ for Google could build a secure sign-in form. Apparently not.
More than 17,000 names, addresses and contact information have been made public after a security breach.
The moral of this story? Never trust a subversive to protect your identity when joining their sketchy activism.
The federal government has a very long list of names to investigate, complete with yet another critical ‘follow-the-money’ data point of who’s REALLY behind these lawless gatherings.
As usual, DataRepublican is making the complicated techie stuff simple for the rest of us. Here is her description of the data breach:
🧵🚨 BREAKING: Miles Taylor: “Anonymous,” former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE “rapid response network.” And publishes the user infromation via a public API. 🚨
The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps.
The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google’s Head of National Security Policy…
…can’t secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration.”
And despite me pinging @MilesTaylorUSA about this 12 hours ago, the REST API is still wide open and exposed as of now. Everything has been turned over to FBI, HSI, ICE, and more agencies.
