Privacy, or the lack therof

Think personal information on you is only known by your close friends and family? Well, think again. Websites such as Spokeo, a social network aggregator, collects a plethora of data from online and offline sources. Social networking, phone directories, real estate listings data are all complied and made easily accessible to anyone on-line. All that person would have to do is simply know a person's first and last name. With such easily obtained information, Spokeo can open the doors to a person's private life and reveal all sorts of information you would not want to be public.
