This is pretty crazy. It's always interesting to see just how tech can fail and expose private information in ways that no one really expected.
Edit: I wonder if this is already patched? I tried looking in my neighbourhood and there are quite a few home businesses. None of the ones I've clicked on have provided a busy time, but the shops just across the road has the busy times widget.

If this were an extremely rural property, you could maybe extract something here, but inside any city, I’m not sure how this gives you anything of value.
