New, exclusive (and cathartic), from me: The consumer data broker Radaris.com has long had a reputation for ignoring requests to remove personal information from its vast empire of people-search services online. That reputation caught up with the company recently in a lawsuit alleging Radaris violated a New Jersey privacy law that provides for hefty fines against data brokers that publish personal information on state law enforcement officials. In the face of repeated stonewalling and prevarication by attorneys for Radaris, the judge in the case ordered that radaris.com and more than a dozen other data broker domains be transferred to the plaintiffs. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/09/data-broker-radaris-loses-domains-in-privacy-fight/

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I suspect they'll be back. The state should have seized the data or ordered the cloud hosting down.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange It is sad that this only happened, because cops have better legal protection than regular people.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I see that Atlas also controls the peekyou.com domain now. Imagine my delight. Go Atlas! More catharsis of this type is needed.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange The table-turns out that the law enforcement doxxers were the corrupt totalitarian regime's criminal data broker friends they made along the way!
