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.

We don’t even provide it, they just take it. You can’t do anything to stop them. Getting inaccurate information removed is a full-time job.
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.
How do you submit it?

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.

they’re out there showing everyone how it’s done, trying to wake us up from our cheeseburgers and nacho fries
I live in Sweden and you can find the adress of like 99% of the people living in Sweden by just doing a simple google search on their name. For example famous actor Stellan Skarsgård. I found his home adress in about 5 seconds.
Back in the before before times we were all sent a giant book full of everyone’s address and phone number. If you didn’t want to be in it you had to contact the phone company.
But that’s all you had to do. Try making yourself dark now. It’s a constant battle.
I will put getting your name removed from the yellow pages circa 2005 right up there with cancelling a gym membership, returning a used car, and immaculate conception.
I think same thing applied also for Norway or Denmark. I remember discovering this one day and it seemed pretty wild.
I wonder how much discount they will give if I ask for all data about the 82%
