With news of a hacker attack on dossier-compiler ChoicePoint continuing to break, list-keeping giant Lexis Nexis had the identities of 32,000 people on whom it was keeping tabs lifted by cyber thieves. Both companies ostensibly collect data for the war on terror - even selling their little black books on Joe Blow to Uncle Sam. But ironically, now investigators say the bad guys, maybe even terrorists, have been stealing the specs from these companies.
It's official, my colleague TKID2 is right: we need to fire-up a campaign of disinformation. I've already registered Tim Peepers, a 72-year-old syphilitic who breathes with the aid of an iron lung, with several online info collectors. To get on the lists, try subscribing to newspapers or taking web surveys. Peepers, a Fresno resident, has a penchant for hardcore smut and infomercials. Also, Mr. Joshua - no first name! - is creating quite the stir in Internet databases. The shadowy special forces vet loves his gardening, and is an avid philanthropist.
Get on it people, there's a war to be won.
