Was trying to find a friends address to send them a surprise gift. It was weird how easy it was.

- laurent92 5y agoHave you seen these websites which bring up everything that was available in the past about someone? Past names and emails on Facebook, photos and geolocation of the EXIF data on a map… Purely by tracking Tweets and Facebook posts and keeping history.
- anonporridge 5y agotruthfinder.com is one I've used. It's a paid service, and it presents like a scammy site at first glance, but it's legit. Lookup your own name to prove it to yourself. It has information about my past that even I forgot about. What's especially disconcerting is how fast your physical address leaks out. Within a couple of months moving to a new rental, they have my address down to the apartment number even though I never publish that publicly anywhere. I assume they ingest large data breaches. We really need a kind of DNS for physical addresses. Abstract your physical address behind an fixed virtual one and only allow authorized parties to resolve the address. This would also be hugely helpful for people that move around a lot, since you'd never have to update your mailing address with any vendor ever again.
