How This Briefing Works
This report opens with key findings, then maps the gaps between what Scrapemagic discloses and what BLACKOUT observed at runtime. From there: what it means for your organization, what to do about it, and the detection data and evidence underneath.
Key Findings
Pre-Consent Activity
Scrapemagic was observed loading and executing before user consent was obtained on 100% of sites where it was detected.
Claims vs. Observed Behavior
platform_consent
“Pending claims extraction”
Runtime shows platform activation before consent resolution
What This Means For You
What To Do About It
Role-specific actions based on observed behavior
If You Use Scrapemagic
- →Audit platform component load timing against consent framework
- →Map data collection initiation sequence
- →Verify DPA covers platform-level consent requirements
If You're Evaluating Scrapemagic
- →Require technical documentation of consent-aware initialization
- →Demand demonstration of consent-first platform activation
- →Negotiate liability provisions covering platform consent violations
Negotiation Leverage
- →C09 platform risk: Demand DPA amendment requiring consent before platform component activation
- →Request written confirmation of consent integration methodology
- →Require audit rights covering platform data collection timing
- →Negotiate liability caps for platform-level consent violations
Runtime Detections
BLACKOUT observed this vendor's JavaScript executing in a live browser and classified each hostile behavior using our BTI-C (Behavioral Threat Intelligence — Capability) taxonomy. These are not theoretical risks — each code below was triggered by something we watched this vendor's code actually do.
