I mean the stuff with equifax was a big problem

Since people could make bank accounts with the numbers

there's a market in japan/SK for social security numbers

you can easily buy them

for instance when you want to play a game

like black desert online used to be

you needed to get your hands on one

Thats just insane

In germany I didn't had too

well its not japan and sk

Just asked my mom

oh well

its really insane

@Goz3rr can you give examples of some interesting/cool/scary tracking and advertising tools you guys produce and sell

we do facial tracking that registers dozens of things about you like sex, age, height

what you look at

for how long you look at it

>height

😖

one thing it's used for is to let retailers organize their shelves

imagine the botnet knowing that you're a manlet

and to see if people look at advertisements

the >drink verification can meme is real

advertisers love this kind of data

that tells them how many people looked at their poster etc

with the wifi/bluetooth tracking we can more reliably tell how often you're visiting somewhere

the facial recognition can do that to and extent but if you wear sunglasses or w/e it gets thrown off sometimes

so as long as you're carrying your phone

its not possible for our equipment to give you logs for a specific device though

no technical reason stopping us from doing that, but we just built it that way

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

we could however

theoretically

if you bring us a phone

tell you where that phone was

but we'd need the physical phone for that

Fugg

I know about BT tracking on Schiphol and facial recognition of The Hague CS. But to have these things everywhere

our main customers are retail stores and malls

so if you're walking through a shopping street

it's entirely possible you already got registered multiple times
