I wonder how easy it would be to piece together all these breaches with any degree of accuracy to build a "complete picture" of an individual.
Say your name, email address and social get leaked in one 500m user dump and your email passport number and actual address in another. I've never worked with datasets on this scale hence the ignorance.
Maybe its possible for one person of interest but how complicated would it be to match up everything?
- colinbartlett 8y agoI’ve oftened wondered if I am helped by my practice of using [servicename]@[mydomain.com] for each service I sign up for. I used to do it to help control and track spam, then I stopped when spam stopped becoming an issue. But now I feel like no longer having a single unique key to correlate my data across different leaked data sets might also be a benefit.
