The company sending the spam said that. Once you get the complete name of people from the attendee list, just make a script to google for the emails ... Other people that coincidently participated in RIPE got the same spam (I'm sure many others, but may be not in this list or just don't responding). As said, at a minimum we should send a clear message by starting a law suit against this company. If we don't do that already, we should have a message, in the attendee list of all our events (past, present and future) in the line of "This list is for the benefit of the participants and RIPE doesn't authorize to use it for marketing prospects or any other activities. We remind that GDPR requires explicit consent to use this data".
