Most Americans have very little choice but to provide their personal information to credit bureaus. Hackers have found a way into that data supply chain, and are advertising access in group chats used by violent criminals who rob, assault, and shoot targets.

    This isn’t a new thing, these services have been around for a long time. True people search blew it out of the water and it’s free. I highly suggest submitting a data removal request to them if you live in the US.

      Holy shit! That site has everything. I have only seen the scam white pages and people search sites before, where it pretends to be scanning everything and then asks for your email, and then refuses to give you the report unless you pay them, and spams the shit out of you from that point forward.
