Are you in the EU?
If so you might have the ability to report them for GDPR violations.
If a person that is outside the list of trusted users was able to contact you on your email address, that might be enough to call it a data-breach.
The harasser might also find herself in hot water as well because she purposely circumvented security protocols in place to unlawfully gain access to privileged information.
INAL, but it's worth a shot.
If you're an American though, you're pretty fucked. Nobody gives a fuck about us. -
@sariel if I read it right there is a link to email the author but not exposing the email address. It looks not like circumventing anything just a feature.
Some older woman in my building tried to cyberbully me. She found a back door because the building’s online message board emails everyone in the building and those emails have a link to email the author.
You bet I snitched on her to building management after she continued to email me after I had asked her to stop and told her that her email was offensive. I don’t tolerate people who make assumptions about my ethnicity and use that as a reason to send me demeaning messages.
And you bet I contacted the developers of the building’s message board about the backdoor. And of course they implied that I could have prevented this and sent me instructions. No, I could not have prevented this and those instructions they sent me would have never applied to my comment on the message board.
