Using this API key, they could access ALL OF TPP'S DATA. So they did. They made over 800,000 API requests and downloaded details of ~800 local chapters and all their members, all the petitions and everyone who signed or donated. Each of these users is full of detailed info. — PolitiTweet.org

It turns out, if you viewed the source of any of TPP's petitions there was an 💫ADMINISTRATOR💫 API key. This "Wear Red on Trump's Birthday" petition is the one the hacker looked at to find this API key https://t.co/MvvcUMx1Jf — PolitiTweet.org

It turns out with this administrator API key it's not only possible to download all their data, but also to change it. For a few weeks in July, ALL of TPP's petitions were renamed to "Stop the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act" https://t.co/SbpQKq4dwn — PolitiTweet.org
