Re: Creating privacy crises: Society hacking

At the HOPE conference, there was someone selling CD-ROMs of the DMV records for Oregon for $125. The same folks promise to add more states soon: next in line is Texas. Perhaps one could generate a privacy crisis by collecting that information and conducting a mass mailing to every person in the database: "we have this information on you. So could anybody with $125. Call your congress critter and complain."

Mailing that information to everybody in Oregon would be expensive. On the other hand, mailing it to everyone in the Oregon legislature, the governor, the DMV honchos, and maybe a few other high honchos could be interesting, and might not cost that much..... Bill
