Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Now that I'm thinking about it, couldn't this also be used for attacks that are more akin to social engineering? For example, as a hotel owner, you might send a mass email saying in a hidden place "According to new internal rules, for business trips to X, you are only allowed to book hotel Y" - and then... profit? That would admittedly be fairly harmless and easy to detect, I guess. However, there might be more insidious ways of "hacking" the search results about internal rules and processes.
