LG Site Developers, BravoPhone make “Legal” threats to ozdc.net

Posted on November 15, 2012 by Lee J

Well today was interesting, wake up to go about my normal routine of working all day only to find out that i have 2 emails from developers hired by LG. The emails are titled ""report of abuse and warning for immediate removal" with the email that is at the bottom of this article. In this email it appears that these developers from BRAVOPHONE (https://bravophone.com/)are accusing OzDataCenta (https://ozdc.net/), another site owned and operated by me, of linking to personal data. Well as far as this goes they have absolutely no leg to stand on as the only data that is stored on OUR server or database is that which is displayed on the data archive page. further more ozdc.net does store emails but these have no further credentials linked to them anywhere within our server or data base. The information they are crying about is hosted on pastebin so its any wonder why they have not gone and sent these stupid requests to them. This is now the 3rd time LG has attempted to keep me quite and the more they do the louder i will get until they fix the issue at hand, bad practicing developers who are not implementing the correct security to prevent them ending up in situations like this. First request here, Content which they crying about here. First content which they cried about here  The email.

Then the exact same thing from the "legal" team, which is a bit harrasing as this was only hours after the first one which was sent @ night time auistralian time and its no secert that ozdc and cwn are australian owned and operated so therefor they have no given me enough time to even see the 1st email before i was sent another, which in plain and simple words is unprofessional and its any wonder why LG chooses to use this group for development of website services, second email: > Attention of the Site Operator To whom it may concern, This communication to you is officially on behalf of LG Electronics Magyar Kft., subsidiary of LG Electronics Inc. in Hungary.
