I think the point is that this attack vector can be pretty anonymous and absolutely deadly to the target company.

This attack is also not protected by insurance, like someone setting fire to your office would be.

It’s fair to explore just how vulnerable a company can be to this type of attack from a malicious competitor.



It's a weak point.

You can also pull API keys from most apps and get them banned from advertising networks.

You can hire people to review bomb.

Hire people to make fake news about a competitor go viral.

Someone willing to do illegal things can always hire other people to do illegal things for them "anonymously"
