speaking of coming into your house (and completely off topic), TIFU by using a KeyMe kiosk. I needed a copy of a key. I expected it was a mechanical copier which I'd seen before. Instead it's some kind of digital kiosk that scans the key and then, sends the info to their servers and they mail you a key.
In other words, they have a database of people's keys and the address those keys belong too. I feel so stupid. Time to change my locks.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoRight. It's a scary world these days. I've recently noticed that my first, instinctive reaction to any new business idea in physical space is to look what information about me it can observe and where can it go. I started to actively avoid anything involving Internet-connected computers. As in your case: the kiosk sends a key scan and your address to some company. It's just one infosec fuckup from giving your local thieves a time of their lives.
