Why do you insist on other people following your personal preferences?

The law is - contrary to your opinion - not a personal preference.

POC -> fine

Actual mass exfiltration -> not fine.

I think you missed that they only pulled the first page of paginated results. The opposite of exfiltration.

So you're a legal expert now too? You characterization of what happened as "mass exfiltration" is just that - your personal opinion.

No, OP documents that in painful detail.

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/ section 12.

Under the GDPR this was a breach, pure and simple.

It's personal data breach for the controller (Lovable or the company that manages the app. Probably latter unless they are determined to joint controllers). It's not breach for the researcher. The researcher(s) themselves need legal basis to obtain this information which would likely be "legitimate interest" and then follow the other principals of GDPR (like deleting the data when no longer needed).

One thing they could potentially get in trouble for is Article 14 notification to data subjects (since they have emails), but that's not very heavily enforced. DPA would probably just tell to send the notification.

Good luck arguing that you had legitimate interest in data of people who did not consent to you having it in the first place.

The GDPR does not have a 'legitimate interest' category that includes exploiting breaches. White hat hackers are neither processors nor controllers and can never claim legitimate interest in the data.

"pure and simple" is again - YOUR interpretation. Sorry, but this is genuinely not interesting anymore. But thanks anyway for engaging. Good luck.

I mentioned this in another comment, but for completeness: we didn’t actually pull all the data. The number would likely look much worse if we had.

Indeed, it would look a lot worse if you had.

He's an AI maximalist who frequently posts in AI related threads. He's being very hostile because the OP's work is a threat to his agenda.

Well, then that assumption would be completely wrong.

This is beyond silly.

Yes, your behavior in this thread was bad enough to inspire me to create an account to comment on it.
