It should be an opensource project that people can run themselves on node or linux or whatever. They are logging in via Oauth, pulling all emails from gmail, scanning them for some keywords/patterns and then submitting removal requests to those services. It be perfect for a standalone opensource project, all someone needs to run it is their google oauth key from developer dashboard.
Otherwise we have to trust "someone" whoever it is that designed this service to not keep all the emails they pulled out of your account for processing for whatever nefarious purposes one can imagine.
I mean if I ever wanted to mass harvest peoples inboxes then this is exactly how I would approach it and hope most people just click "next" > "next" on the permissions warning that google shows, which most people would.
Revenue website here in Ireland does this, you need to have a cert which is read by a java applet, cert is issued after you use a one time password mailed to your home from what i remember, they expire every so often and need to be renewed.
One of the banking sites did as well but dropped it, now my gmail is more secure than my bank account since there is no 2fa on this bank.
The java applet approach must cause endless customer support requests
Come to Ireland and leave the motorway network for our country roads, we pass within inches of bushes on one side and cars on other at 80 to 100km/h while being blinded by idiots misusing fog lights and reflections of perpetualy wet roads. These "roads" resemble twisty tunnels thru trees :D
Ireland, 4 bed detached, solar water heater which works well for about 4 months of year, oil heating + wood/turf stove for rest of time. No need for air conditioning here but heat recovery thingie is on all time.
5000kWh last year, tho I have computer(s) on 24x7 due to home office, Comes to about 120€/month
Half of all the bills are just standing charges, and renewable subsidies charges and taxes, and taxes on taxes. Hence adding LED lights, low power appliances etc did little to budge the bills
Maybe Obama should consider a tax amnesty? Get money in from outside the US at a low tax rate (something is better than nothing right) and get it circulating in the US creating jobs and funding startups/ideas
Railguns that could accelerate and dump pieces of metal anywhere in world from high orbit. Militaries would drool over the idea of controlled falling meteors for strategic bombing
I remember when the ntp exploit came out few years ago datacenter where we have a rack contacted me saying the Supermicro IPMI devices on the Supermicro servers were participating in an amplification attack.
I was like wtf! Matter was quickly resolved of course, also they learned a lesson and moved ipmi ips to 10mbit limited connnections not 1gbit.
Tho ideally a local ip that accessible only via a vpn would have been the best option for remote management but yeh, little steps I suppose with some providers.
