:rofl: why would they? All that is already for sale, pally. Find a data broker, fork over twenty bucks, and all that info is fair game. Hell, fire up a TOR client, find a data breach that contains your device's MAC address or static IP, pay five or ten bucks, and same deal, but now I can drain your credit card.
