While a personal attack is much less likely than a non-personal bulk attack, I would guess that anybody who goes through the trouble of personally looking over your words with a magnifying glass has a much higher chance of being very dangerous.
That scary amounts of information are floating around about you has always been true though. The things you can get from your local courthouse may surprise you.
- lstamour 13y agoSure, but when anyone takes an interest in someone else, we all know the odds "something bad" will happen, even if "bad" is simply "embarrassment of the person with the interest". Similarly, I suppose what I'm getting at is there really is no such thing as complete anonymity, just the temporary pretence of it. I mean, of course, lack of interest and luck can contribute to your anonymity these days, and time might diminish the odds that something can get traced back to you, but ... you never know. ;-) Edit: I posted this elsewhere but it's relevant here too - http://pandodaily.com/2013/10/26/i-challenged-hackers-to-investigate-me-and-what-they-found-out-is-chilling/ http://pandodaily.com/2013/10/26/i-challenged-hackers-to-inv...
