Honestly sounds like a fun job for future historians. By aggregating all the leaks over a long period, how much of a person can you reconstruct?
For example even though I am using a throwaway account, HN's logs might one day get compromised. So now they can join the IP address to other compromised sites that I was logged into using my usual email. And from my email they already have my name, SSN, address, phone number, usernames, passwords, etc, exposed from prior breaches. But now they know about my shitposts too.

- uyt 6y agoThat's exactly my point. I think I am safe on HN because I'm using a random user name with no email attached. But their logs definitely have my ip address and that ip address will be common across other compromised logs on other sites, some of which I might be logged into with a real email (this is true regardless of incognito mode since it's the same computer).
