I'm not a privacy paranoid type of guy, but when a quick search of a database turns up three of my previous addresses and one my brother lived at, but mysteriously I've never had anything to do with, I tend to start being suspicious. This isn't the local phone directory either - in fact, ZabaSearch doesn't disclose where the information is coming from. The search turns up a great deal of information without querying for more than a first and last name. A more in-depth search from their site reveals that I've never been a prison inmate, I'm not a Licensed U.S. attorney and I'm not dead, all things I already knew but someone else might not. Apparently you can order more background information by paying the company a fee. In order to remove yourself from their database, you need to provide contact information, which seems like a leap of faith to trust a company already providing an aggregate of information. We recently talked to Deborah Pierce of PrivacyActivism.org about some of the data leaks occurring through a company called ChoicePoint, which sells information about people. You can already learn quite a lot about people without paying a dime to ZabaSearch. If you've got a stalker, it will be easy for them to keep tabs on your living arrangements. If you don't have a stalker, ZabaSearch might provide someone creepy with the right information. While some of the information may be public record, it will be interesting to see if any backlash results from what seems to be a distinctly borderline potential invasion of privacy. Thanks to Jeremy Z for the tip.
