anything from equifax.

https://arstechnica.com/information-...uifax-website-
hacked-again-this-time-to-redirect-to-fake-flash-update/
...For several hours on Wednesday, and again early Thursday morning,
the site was maliciously manipulated again, this time to deliver
fraudulent Adobe Flash updates, which when clicked, infected
visitors' computers with adware that was detected by only three of 65
antivirus providers.


Can such a link destroy or retrieve personal data so that in it self can
be used maliciously?


it doesn't get any more malicious than what equifax has done to
hundreds of millions of people by releasing their personal data into
the wild.

Since you use a NNTP server aimed towards bin downloads, and those are
rarely legal these days I assume that security does not imply legality
to you. That quote you presented does not present any evidence of actual
harm done to Chrome users though. Not that it concerns me...

harvested from equifax's servers, because they're completely inept.
they knowingly and negligently did not secure their servers and then
tried to cover it up.

the fact that their site is offering fake 'flash update' malware is
further proof of just how utterly incompetent they are.

Here is a more interesting question:

How would you reinvent Usenet?

What Usenet did well was that it was completely decentralised, had zero
cost of engagement (despite 'hundreds, if not thousands of dollars'),
and was everywhere.

What Usenet did badly was that there was a complete absence of identity
management or access controls, which meant no accountability, which
meant widespread abuse; and no intelligence about transmitting messages,
which meant that every server had to have a copy of the entire
distributed database, which meant it wouldn't scale.

It's a tough problem. You need some way to propagate good messages while
penalising bad messages in an environment where you cannot
algorithmically determine what good or bad is, or have a single unified
view of all messages, all users, or even all servers. And how do you
deal with bad actor servers?
