"I haven't seen this fact mentioned much, but Honan's billing address was compromised through a WHOIS lookup on his domain. This is a huge reason to use registry protection services. It's true someone could look you up using things like Pipl and Spokeo, but that's only if you have something in public records, such as a mortgage (or, in some cases, leases)." There used to be books that they put on everyone's doorsteps that had everyone's name, address and phone number in them. Society managed. Addresses should not be considered private information, nor should birthdays, mother's maiden name, etc.
