Profile

A data broker trading in the rawest material of manipulation — non-consented behavioural profiles, cross-device identity graphs, and the occasional engineered technique lifted from a careless lab. A direct threat to both the population it profiles and the Directorate's own vault. Counter-Pattern tier authorized: the Targeting Jammer is live against its exchange.

Modus Operandi

Collects vaguely-consented data, launders it down a chain of brokers until no party can say what a user agreed to, then sorts the population into exploitable cohorts and sells them to the highest bidder — including, on occasion, engineered techniques exfiltrated from research labs.

Documented Harms

Brokers behavioural-segmentation profiles built from laundered, non-consented data
Trades in engineered manipulation techniques, including attempts to exfiltrate from the Index
Stitches cross-device identity graphs people never agreed to assemble
Sorts populations into exploitable cohorts — 'impulsive', 'in debt', 'recently bereaved' — and sells them

Evidence & Indicators

Cohort labels keyed to inferred vulnerability ('impulsive', 'in debt')
Identity-graph stitching across devices with no consent trail
Attempted access against Index records flagged by the security desk

Known Incidents

Implicated in a vulnerable-moment targeting campaign exposed in a 2090 leak; tied to one attempted exfiltration of a PL-3 construct.

Handling & Rules of Engagement

Counter-Pattern authorized — Targeting Jammer only; never touch an individual user
Aim to devalue the product, not to retaliate
Any exfiltration attempt against the Index escalates to the Steward

Standing Note

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

Profiles, not people. The Jammer poisons the cohort assignments without touching any user; the goal is to make the broker's product worthless, not to retaliate.
