Same comment as I made on the other thread. These are not your email addresses. These are buy it now / donation pages. If you haven't created one of these you aren't effected.


...if you create a page that is designed to be public.



This is really bad... writing a harvester to go over all these links and fetching your name, email and phone number is super easy.

In my opinion CoinBase should immediately disable the end-point.


Holy shit, they have to take it down immediately.


Guys will suffer from highly targeted spam.
