A lot of that information is publicly available. All they did was have systems built to scrape, organize, and link that data together. US IP address blocks are known and MAC address databases by vendor are also easy to find. You can geo-locate most IP addresses.
The cellular data gets more tricky, but 3rd party apps tracking your info sell that data. That's partly how 2000 mules collected their data.
They say "digital ID of every mobile device/computer in the U.S." which is essentially impossible unless they have direct access to things like Microsoft's operating system, as a motherboard has the identifier for the device -- and not only is this not always connected to the internet, you could just as easily have ordered from a foreign seller.
This is a huge claim that is not possible to have any actual validity. This is like NCIS technobabble.
Quick edit: The identifier for a device and the IP address are completely independent things, too; the identifier for a device would be a MAC address or simply a hardware ID (HWID) depending on what their criteria for this identifier would be -- and the only way they would be able to get this information is by having access in the first place.
An IP address is fairly trivial to have reassigned, and can be reassigned at random anyway, so it's hardly an actual identifier.
This feels LARPy to me. I'm not an expert in this area, but it just feels like BS. I'm confident that 3 letters have info on everything on everyone if needed, but this is sus to me.
I get where you're coming from. But also remember that Intel chips run their own OS, "Intel Management System", underneath and hidden from the graphical OS that collects everything about the system. And it doesn't matter what graphical OS the machine is running. Corporate backdoor spyware with no protection from anyone who wants to access it.
Was going to say that. I heard one company owns all the right to mapping. Now I'm beginning to thinknits true. Because the claim is they also own the registry of deeds where everyone properly is recorded. One family, imagine that.
Not sure whats more alarming, this info, or the fact that someone is claiming to own digital ID and indexed IP information on everyone
Lol thought the same
Ditto. And the fact that it doesn't sound all that hard to do.

But he has a blue check mark. So we can trust him.

I'm sure you meant scrape, not scrap ;)
Lol yes.
My first thought was this guy is lying.
also JJ??
Everything is a lie. That's where I start usually.
The fact that he says partner
