Substack has disclosed a security incident involving unauthorized access to limited user data, reportedly obtained through scraping activity described by the threat actor as “noisy.”
The company states that credentials and financial information were not affected, and that mitigations were implemented quickly after discovery. Users have been advised to remain cautious of potential phishing attempts.
From an infosec perspective, this incident underscores challenges around detection timing, data exposure via scraping, and post-incident communication.
How should platforms better monitor and respond to large-scale scraping risks?
