Google Duplex Abuse
With all great technology comes the dark side. The demo was pretty impressive but I could imagine this being used for mass scale nefarious activities. A call spammer was just slapped with a big fine for a pretty simple recorded message. Imagine the level of sophistication these attacks could now leverage using something like Duplex for their robo calls.Google mentioned they would have a notification system to ensure the receiver knows the call is being recorded and their interacting with AI but if this becomes adopted for consumer services most people will become numb to that warning.Thoughts? :)

Disclosing a security issue to the public
A major hosting company has a security issue that, in certain circumstances, leaves it's customer's data on it's filesystem even after the data should have been deleted. I found a way to access that "deleted" data, by mistake. I reported the issue via email, but considering the "we don't keep the data" answer, I guess that my report was not taken seriously. Should I keep bugging them or just make the issue public?

Any way to get a phone number by using social accounts?
I've been trying to contact my sister for 4 weeks and now I am worried about her. She lives in another town and apparently she changed her number. The only contacts that I've got are her Facebook and Instagram accounts, but she wasn't online this month either. Can I somehow get her new number by using social accounts? I would like to know some free and fast services or websites for this, if it's possible.
