to ask thisisanicecage to repeat her experiment on internet insecurity

[Consils]

she looked up the mumsnet history of a random poster and was able to find out names and addresses. I missed the end of the last thread and I am still curious.

Oi!

It is a public health warning; a public service. You could do me but I don't think that I have posted enough. It was brilliant!

tianc did you do any name changers? and if so were you able to find out any info about them?

She found out the colour of their front door.

Namechangers are harder, but in practice a lot of people have nicknames people use when talking to them. And quiches are a dead giveaway.

Hmm. Trying not to create a stalker's guide here.

But definitely use a unique nc if you want to discuss something sensitive...

I'm worried now that I might be totally identifiable! I hope not!

TBF, I only got one front door - the other stalkee had moved too recently.

IIRC, it was wood with glass panel. And a dead plant hanging at the side StreetView may be out of date now. Can't remember if the much-posted-about car was nearby - could have got the numberplate, if so...

It's all vv scary.

I don't think it's wise or fair to highlight this

proudnscary I think it is both wise and fair to highlight this. That is the point.

It's a public but anonymous forum

And before you lecture me on Internet security, you know what I mean. It is meant to be anonymous as we all have nicknames and presumably we all prefer it that way.

This is a nice cage only did it to volunteers. There were plenty of volunteers.

As TheJoyfulPuddleJumper says, there is no security of MN. We're publishing our innermost thoughts on a globally-searchable website that comes high up the google rankings for loads of searches.

People in Mongolia know about LaQueen's F&B fixation. TheSecondComing's minge.

Yes, no details were made public.

Yep, just PM'd or emailed results. Though it was all from MN postings + publicly available sources. Anyone with time on their hands could have done it.
