bntly @bntly.ca · 20/08/2026Maybe? I can't speak to their motivations at all (and i've 100% got no skin in the game) but this would be something I'd advocate for in any org - Which may be giving them an excuse but i'm not making it for them. 000
bntly @bntly.ca · 19/08/2026Totally - but phishing is a 'lazy gathering' workflow - they'll scrape the employee directory, they'll pull linkedin API data, they'll buy employee lists - They probably won't pull information manually from a 3rd party site that doesn't offer API access. 100
bntly @bntly.ca · 19/08/2026Honestly from my standpoint that's even a risk - I'm personally opposed to even having CEO/VP information on publicly accessible sites because of how it's currently being leveraged for attacks. 🤷♂️ 100
bntly @bntly.ca · 19/08/2026As an example from a mid-sized corporation (none government) stuff like this would come up in general security audits we do internally, or if we contract out because of it's usage in Spear Phishing (or more targeted phishing attacks) LinkedIn usage also gets flagged because they sell API access.. 000
bntly @bntly.ca · 19/08/2026I know there is a lot of ire about this right now but this employee directory is a nightmare from a security standpoint. Targeted phishing in bad enough without publicly exposed employee information - If i was doing IT Operations/Sec for gov i'd have been pushing for this change in every meeting. 200
