I don’t understand what is “terrifying” about that. Even without the bot, anyone with malicious intent could imagine up a random phone number.
These kind articles with thin content are just used by these news agencies to fit into the “bots are bad” narrative that makes them money. Of course bots are bad in many ways, but not for such flimsy reasons.
There are profits that grow over time, keeping their promises, without harming customers, and with values at the core of the company.
Then there are profits gained immediately by cutting corners in many places, ignoring damage to reputation, and driven by greed.
These kind of news point to the second case and we all thought bitwarden was the first kind.
