In two minutes from my phone I found his phone number and personal email, two personal phone numbers for his wife, one is a landline, her personal email address along with the names and contact information for their kids. Their current and prior addresses. All of their ages, birthdays, aliases and neighbors. If someone was persistent and felt like spending an hour to put together profiles for them I have no doubt they could plant a very clear picture of everything they would want for whatever they are after. I was going to post links and screenshots but I don’t think that would be appropriate and as much as I don’t like him I don’t agree with the actions. You can accomplish a lot with OSINT profiling, be it people, organizations, whatever really. Nobody that has any idea what they are doing isn’t going to do recon ahead of time. Obviously using more secure methods than a simple fingerprinted google search but I was just doing it to verify I could and without any malicious intent I would need to cover my tracks for.
No, it really is way easier than you think. A day is more than enough time, especially if it’s done by a group of people connected on Discord or something, which it almost certainly was.

You’re naive or uninformed then.
