lexis nexis is a creepiest data aggregator out there. i recall seeing interview with the founder where he’s been bragging about buying hacked stolen databases of the darkweb “until feds take them down”. all your data
and this company is used to validate your tax worthiness.
I used to work for a Sheriff’s Office that used this system. It was a mass center of consumer and civilian data.
It’s probably Palantir doing their thing now that LN has sold it’s wares to ICE
I used to work for a giant bank in the fraud department and had full access to lexis Nexis. It was horrifying 15 years ago. It’s gotta be so much worse now.
Health insurance here. They were the biggest kid on the block as far as information gathering.
Not surprised after what I saw years ago
Shut them down for good. They collect a shit ton of data and sell it to anyone. Your car’s telemetry data get collected and they sell it to insurance companies.
Is this the same lexisnexis that does like book and research paper databases for university libraries?
They are one and the same.
Yeah. Library workers have been trying to stop this for years but many institutions are still locked in and I’m still mad about it.
No. This one steal your data, then sells to third parties
They’re all fucking creeps.
OE rise.
I worked for a financial institution that used their services to try and locate account holders with undeliverable mail.
