In it, AT&T is touting that their employees are local "home town folks" https://archive.org/details/the-saturday-evening-post-1947-08-16/page/n1 ------------------------------ Message-ID: <6B498699-A18E-4084-AC7B-C452FCD2D109@roscom.com> Date: 10 Jan 2020 02:59:20 -0500 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: Why is a 22GB database containing 56 million US folks' personal details sitting on the open internet? Why is a 22GB database containing 56 million US folks' personal details sitting on the open internet using a Chinese IP address? Seriously, why? If CheckPeople could take a look at this, that would be great By Shaun Nichols 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. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/01/09/checkpeoplecom_data_exposed/ ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sun, 12 Jan 2020
