Looking at the leak others have pointed to, there are a surprising number of people working in a particular imaginary company: sqlite> select company, count(*) as c from usa where length(company) > 0 group by company order by c desc limit 10; company c ---------------------------------------- ---------- Self-Employed 459119 Facebook 181013 Retired 71210 The Krusty Krab 61550 Hollister Co. 42304 U.S. Army 39682 Stay-a…

How is it that NOBODY mentions suing FB for this, the single largest data breach/leak in history? Are they to be let off with zero accountability? Nerds and geeks of ycombinator, pls let us know how you feel.

Dear god, fastpeoplesearch.com is a horribly obnoxious treasure trove of information.

Tried it, you're right. Got 6 of my past addresses, 9 past phone numbers, 8 relatives, all correct. Some incorrect info, but not much as a percentage. If you reverse search the PO Box address listed on the site contact page, you'll find an Amateur Radio license listed to a person that is probably the owner of the site, based on his past experience.

https://haveibeenpwned.com/ I've been pwned 33 times. At this point, it's just noise. My passwords are all unique (password manager). Honest question - What should I worry about?

The root of the problem is not the privacy policy or the system security. The root of the problem is the collection itself. All large businesses, health care providers, and governments maintain databases. Every one of them will eventually be leaked. All it takes is a corruptible trusted insider.

> Every one of them will eventually be leaked. Equifax has more at stake than most. And they've been hacked. Repeatedly. The government has been hacked. Yahoo was COMPLETELY owned. I mean, if someone would put together a list, it would make for shocking reading. It's become so common, that we go, "Oh no! Anyway."
