![]() Here, they tell the story via the personal journeys of two contrasting individuals: David Carroll, a New York media professor who attempts a circuitous, difficult and ultimately unsuccessful journey via the English legal system to find out what data Cambridge Analytica held on him and Brittany Kaiser, an ex-employee of Cambridge Analytica who turned “whistleblower”.Ĭarroll’s doomed attempt to lift the veil from the data-industrial complex that underpinned Cambridge Analytica is the dark heart of the film. The Great Hack is the work of Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer, the husband-and-wife team who made The Square, the Oscar-nominated film about the Arab spring. Wheatland describes what it was like to be inside a news tsunami: at its height, he says, they were dealing with an almost fantastical 35,000 news stories a day. But having worked for more than a year to bring Wylie forward, it’s fascinating for me now to glimpse how the scandal continued to unfold. But, in the film, Wheatland conveniently glosses over Cambridge Analytica’s more singular attributes, such as offering “electoral services” that included entrapment using Ukrainian prostitutes and admitting to bribing officials in Caribbean elections. It’s true that, since the scandal broke, we have discovered that Facebook was leaking data all over the place over many years. It just sucks to me that it’s Cambridge Analytica.” Cambridge Analytica didn’t decide democracy was for sale. There was always going to be a Cambridge Analytica. “This technology is going on unabated and will continue to go on unabated. “This is not about one company,” Julian Wheatland, the ex-chief operating officer of Cambridge Analytica, claims at one point. This week sees the release of The Great Hack, a Netflix documentary that is the first feature-length attempt to gather all the strands of the affair into some sort of narrative – though it is one contested even by those appearing in the film. In response to this, Ethnical Spectrum tweeted, "check your PC and your Emails i'm not done with you but i'll stop attacking you right now, Wait for me".It was a media firestorm that’s yet to be extinguished, a year on from whistleblower Christopher Wylie’s revelations in the Observer and the New York Times about how the company acquired the personal data of tens of millions of Facebook users in order to target them in political campaigns. Let's not have this hacker get what he wants. In the email - a screenshot of which is posted to Twitter - Paananen allegedly wrote, "The best possible 'revenge' here is to continue to operate as we have or even better. More intriguingly, the hacker appears to have compromised a Supercell Employee's email account and posted an internal email from Ilkka Paananen acknowledging the breech - thus lending legitimacy to the hacking claims, which Supercell also corroborated via Twitter on Sunday. Shortly after the hack was reported, Ethical Spectrum took to his or her Twitter to clarify that "no i dont have access to players credit card information". The screenshot is allegedly taken from Supercell's Engagor account, a cross-platform social media management tool. It's unclear as to whether this figure is for Clash of Clans globally or a combination of Supercell's games in a given region, but 29.4M daily active users at an ARPDAU of $0.18 works out to an estimated daily revenue of $5.29 million, although revenue is listed at $5.15 million. Going one step further, the hacker posted an unverified screenshot which purports to show some enticing figures for Supercell - namely, its DAU and ARPDAU. ![]() ![]() A hacker going by Ethical Spectrum has allegedly hacked Supercell's official Clash of Clans and Hay Day Facebook pages.
