There are much easier ways to track authoritative details about a person's moves, e.g. voter registration.
- kube-system 2y agoOr through any of the data being sold by companies who send someone mail.
- DANmode 2y agoHackers often do not vote.
- kstrauser 2y agoUnless they legally can't, say because of a felony conviction, that seems highly unusual.
- DANmode 2y agoIt really depends on how much data one wants to create. What one is optimizing for. I've come across some folks pretty committed to staying "effectively off-grid" - even today.
- DANmode 2y agoSeparately (assuming US): would you actually find it surprising there would exist a subset of hackers unimpressed with the R and D parade to the point that they abstain?
- kstrauser 2y agoSurprised, no, because I've known plenty of ahem security researchers who were contrarian just for the sake of it.
- sneak 2y agoA third of the US population doesn’t vote. It’s not even normal unusual, it’s common.
- sneak 2y agoI don’t register to vote or receive any mail at my primary residence. My government paperwork all goes to my tertiary residence. Do you really think someone who is changing their BSSIDs when they move is putting the address at which they regularly sleep unguarded into public records?
