Ask HN: Where do you think companies expose your data from?
- a3n 11y agoIn no particular order: - Credit agencies - DMV - ISPs - fixed and mobile carriers - Social networks - email providers - advertising networks - Radio Shack and other retailers - Loyalty programs like your supermarket - The buyers of the above, and of anything I missed, reselling it. - Data breaches EDIT: I almost put law enforcement and intelligence in there, but I vaguely think we haven't got there yet, although they certainly share data amongst themselves. However, Data breaches would have to include any government agency.
