Cuz this is some real honeypot-lookin stuff right here and makes me question if they're deeply unserious about cybersecurity and protecting their members.

Minute point here in relation to visibility of communist party membership. I won't assume to be an expert on how pizzle sets their own standards but communist parties do operate on a certain level of secrecy in the form of organizing cells that are generally speaking kept separated from each other on larger geographic scales in order to ensure no single member of a local region has a full picture of the whole party's membership. A shop cell may know of other nearby shops cells in a city with members for ease of coordination but only the city organizer would have a full picture of what's up in the city. That city organizer as well may know some details of other local cities but won't have the full picture a state organizer has, and so on to district, region, and all the way to the standing committee who act as the true public face of the party.

You may know a handful of local communist party members and the general secretary and national chair of their party, but you won't know or shouldn't know any details between the two. The central committee that is the true brains of the party between congresses remain nameless and faceless. Strands of cells could be compromised but it won't compromise the whole party right away. Enemy intelligence has to at least invest more time and effort in cracking information to make a dent in the party.
