Exclusive A database containing the personal details of 56.25m US residents from names and home addresses to phone numbers and ages has been found on the public internet, served from a computer with a Chinese IP address, bizarrely enough.
The information silo appears to have been obtained somehow from Florida-based CheckPeople.com, which is a typical people-finder website: for a fee, you can enter someone's name, and it will look up their current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, names of relatives, and even criminal records in some cases, all presumably gathered from public records.
However, all of this information is not only sitting in one place for spammers, miscreants, and other netizens to download in bulk, it's being served from an IP address associated with Alibaba's web hosting wing in Hangzhou, east China, for reasons unknown. It is a perfect illustration that not only is this sort of personal information in circulation, it's also in the hands of foreign adversaries.
Other than ages, sounds like a telephone book from 30+ years ago.
Add yo this the Mainland Chinese Communist Liberator effort to enroll as many US voters as possible to flip states to the Red as they did in Virginia
For shoots and giggles, I put my deceased wife’s information in and got this message at the end
Don’t worry, your search history will always remain
PRIVATE and nobody will EVER know about it!
Thanks for the post; ping.
The CRIMINAL STATE can know everything about you even the last time you wiped your butt, yet we can know NOTHING about them?

Precisely!!
And this type of personal information has been out there available to the public since the 90’s, as that’s when I first started using such services.
It’s somewhat similar to the pre-internet era where one could find out someone’s address, name or phone number simply by looking in a phone book, calling information or other sources.
There’s just nothing new or alarming here. This is non-news. It’s like someone just discovering grass is green, water is wet or democrats are mindless hate-mongers.
Thank you. I might add that data is all free on a number of sites.

Use a VPN service (so they can’t capture your IPN), google your own Social Security Number.......

Get ready, you might be shocked at what you read about yourself and all your family......... Thank you Chase Bank!
Sounds like whitepages.com to me.
