Re:Fake_contacts: Android app to create fake phone contacts,... by anotherfish on Sunday February 28, 2021 @03:46AM (#26291735)
Going by the canary email addresses I put into my devices from time to time... nowhere good. Those email addresses receive spam despite never sending or being signed up to anything. Apps are actively uploading and selling email addresses. I'd not be surprised if some Big Data company has a massive graph of mobile numbers / email addresses sourced purely from app uploads, let alone reasonable signups. Then its all correlated with other sources like linkedin. Yay! Profit!
