E3 organization leaks data for over 2,000 journalists and analysts August 2, 2019 https://venturebeat.com/2019/08/02/e3-data-leak/
So why are these leaks newsworthy anymore? I mean, you can basically assume that any information you share with anyone will get leaked. So just share what doesn't matter. And if they demand too much, provide faked information.
Do this with your taxes declaration . All this just prove my point once again, people should focus on real life entities insecurely gathering your real datas rather than complaining after 3 tech giants that just monetize what your digital persona is. On the net, you can still create noise and deceptive persona/datas; IRL, not unless you are a criminal or a spy/covert agent.
The article is about registration for a conference. And even about government stuff, I've often used a ~fake address. That is, a private remailing service. In the past, US states didn't always share traffic violation data. So I'd typically have a driving license in a state that didn't share with states where I typically drove. And received official mail using a private remailing service in that state. So speeding etc tickets just cost whatever they cost. Violations didn't show up on my license, and so didn't affect my insurance rate. I could also get paid in a state with a low income tax rate.
E3’s organizer apologizes after revealing information for thousands of journalists August 3, 2019 https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/03/e...ing-information-for-thousands-of-journalists/
@mirimir i was talking about your real address not mailing one, when dealing with gov offices and even internet/electricity/gas/water providers you have to justify where you live, then your real datas are not so much protected unlike you eventual personas.
@guest - True. But that's not much of an issue for me. For Internet access, I have experimented with using WiFi hotspots ~anonymously. At several km distance, using an Ubiquiti radio and parabolic dish. And an ~anonymous access account, if necessary. But that's too much hassle. And it's easy to track down radios, in any case. However, once we have low-altitude satellite Internet, ~anonymous access might be worth testing. Unless those satellites have phased-arrays that can geolocate accurately.
