conservative social network speaking accidentally exposed emails personal “elite members” and investors (17) last Monday. According to the information obtained, the list includes connections from politicians, influencers and journalists using the platform.
Apparently, in a rush to reveal the news that the company was acquired by rapper Kanye West, executives sent a clear message to all users. In this case, it would be the right way to send an e-mail with the addresses of an e-mail forwarded to the “VIP group” in blind copy so that the information is not shared.
According to Adam Ryan, creator of the business newsletter work week, ‘leaked’ list includes emails from Parler’s ‘Golden Badges’ users. Equivalent to Twitter’s “Verified” tag, the seal is awarded to profiles of public figures, media outlets, companies and organizations.
At that time, Contacts of US Senator Ted Cruz and former President Donald Trump employees exposed. Supposedly, even the personal email of Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the former US governor, would be on the long list.
Parler’s accidental disclosure did not please the “Golden Badges” members and provoked mixed reactions. For example, “It’s a pleasure to reveal information with a great team,” one of the people joked..
Already, some users said they were surprised that they would lose interest in the platform. As in the case of Donald Trump’s former lawyer, L. Lin Wood, people who were banned from the social network also got the message.
