Attendant Google'd name of the patient -> clicked on LinkedIn profile. That would be enough to get them suggested to you.

Created a fake account and Facebook still figured out who I am. How?

#73I think there's a much simpler answer than some sort of "deep browser fingerprinting" or other scary voodoo. 1) User requests account deletion. Facebook does not delete it, keeps track of his phone number via shadow profiles. (Mike is still mike@gmail.com, 800-555-1234) 2) User creates a new Proton Mail address. (Fakey@protonmail.com) 3) One of his friends adds that email address to his contact. (Mike, mike@gmail.com…
You might not have put your phone number into facebook, but someone you know put your number in with your full name and the facebook app harvested it. Facebook now has your phone number in your shadow profile.
Everyone less privacy savvy than you will inadvertently permit a corporation to harvest your personal information to profit from.

Could you provide the JavaScript code that would allow a modal button to access these items?
You should look at what microsoft did to sneak its way into a win10 install, you should also look at what google does to snarf permissions with a button by another name. the breadcrumbs can start here. https://apenwarr.ca/log/20190201 your smart kid figure it out youll learn more that way versus being spoon fed. BTW im sure that posting such code here would be a criminal activity that dang and others would frown upon…
Link?

That has zero technical information, just a lot of vague hand-waving. Give me something technical here.

You're claiming this can be done in JavaScript. If it can be done in JavaScript, it's not going to be illegal.

#75after reading through this thread, i find some very concerning things. The use of the word nontrivial is one thing. Calling something nontrivial does not mean you have expertise, there are a number of analytic tools that are being called non trivial or too complex, and that means it is non trivial to the caller. The rest of us who use these techniques as often as breathing find them trivial to say the least. The lack…

I see meetuu, zucksablackhat, and ohWARisme all posting in succession in the same places - are you all the same user? edit: Threw in parents post in case of deletion.

> javascript has a lot of power, and it acesses more than the browser, and none of this is remotely too complicated While you can finger print a browser relatively well with javascript, it does not have access to a number of the things you list, like MAC, router MAC, CPU serial number, etc.
when you click a modal button are you sure it does what is assumed? recall win10 upgrade scandal? (the X)
Hijacking a button to do something different is a matter of attaching a different event to it - which is exactly what you can do with windows forms for things like "do you want to save?" To access information that's not actually available is a whole other level. Why would you consider those two are equivalent?
edit: To include parent's question and clarify why it's trivial.

#78OP was probably not a very technical user, else he/she would've understood that 1. They should've deleted _all_ relevant cookies (in the browser, as well as in the browsers cookie database) 2. There are many 3rd party companies that sell data packs that derive residential IPs from VPN IPs (we use some at work). A trusted/good VPN is a must 3. They probably came via the same User Agent (didn't mention changing browser…
What is a trusted/good VPN to use?
If you would like to learn a good VPN using the data yourself, consider using these tools:
This site has a detailed list of all VPN providers and properties of their services.

And this site talks about some of the concerns you may want to have when picking a VPN service.

@mod team/dang, can you take a look at the origin of accounts ohWARisme, meetuu, and zucksablackhat? Highly suspect they're just alt accounts, and they're spamming this thread with... questionable quality discussion/FUD.
