Meta has expanded its bug bounty program to include payouts for reports of scraping attacks on Facebook - but hold your applause. In October, Facebook sued a chap who it alleges scraped and sold data pertaining to 178 million users. "We're tackling the industry-wide issue of scraping by expanding our bug bounty program to reward valid reports of scraping bugs and unprotected data sets," states an update from the Facebook security team. "The goal of this program is to find bugs that attackers utilize to bypass scraping limitations to access data at greater scale than the product intended." Note, dear reader, that the above quote indicates that Facebook limits scraping and is comfortable with it happening at limited scale. Another extension to Facebook's bug bounty program is rewards for those who find "Unprotected or openly public data sets containing at least 100,000 unique Facebook user records that include information such as email, phone number, physical address, religious, or political affiliation." Meta's bounty program for these datasets only offers payments to reporters' preferred charities - lest scrapers report their own work for monetary gain.

During the first half of 2021, LinkedIn was targeted by attackers who scraped data from hundreds of millions of public profiles and later sold them online. Whilst the scraping did not constitute a data breach nor did it access any personal data not intended to be publicly accessible, the data was still monetised and later broadly circulated in hacking circles. The scraped data contains approximately 400M records with 125M unique email addresses, as well as names, geographic locations, genders and job titles. LinkedIn specifically addresses the incident in their post on An update on report of scraped data.

It can be daunting to determine who's responsible for showing ads on the websites we visit, or who's harvesting data from the mobile apps we use every day. That information is already semi-public, but it is not easily parsed and traditionally much of it has remained walled away in the hands of large advertising platforms. Not anymore: A powerful and free new service called DecryptAds scrapes and correlates this adtech data and makes it simple to quickly learn a great deal about the entities that are tracking you.
