Why is a 22GB database containing 56 million US folks' personal details sitting on the open internet using a Chinese IP address? Seriously, why?

”...from names and home addresses to phone numbers and ages”

Other than “ages”, sounds like a telephone book from 30+ years ago.

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!

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!
