HP Support: We can enable that feature for $17 per month or $2.99 per document (up to 10 pages).

I know I'm late to the NPD-bashing party, but the complete disregard for other's privacy they've shown warrants another go at them.

The fact that these companies buy, scrape, and steal our data, then compile it into a dox-bomb and secure it behind a "do not breach k thx" high-security post-it note, just fucking riles me.

And because it's "publicly available" data, the repercussions of any breach typically amount to having to write a whoopsie apology email and maybe offer an identity scraping—er protection—subscription.

It blows my mind that these parasites are legal-ish businesses. They basically provide doxxing as a service.

What the actual fuck The Verge?! You have over 500 partners who need access to my "essential" cookies?

I mean, thanks for showing me the numbers on how insane data sharing is, but really? And those are the ones I can't opt out of?

Do they count like every employee as a partner, or is my data really being shared with hundreds of other businesses?

Another National Public Data company found hosting a file online that included the usernames and passwords for the back-end of its website, including for the site’s administrator.

The publicly-accessible file, which has now been taken offline, showed that all RecordsCheck users were given the same 6-character password with instructions to change that password. Which many failed to do.
