"I've got his wife and kids!"....
This is the standard outcome in a game we play at work...

Basically whenever we have cause to target someone in the public arena our little IT team go on a mission to obtain information about said person.

For example we have had the person using our copyright images on our website and leeching them to their auctions on ebay. Further investigation also showed they were fraudulently obtaining our stock by complaining items were not recieved etc. Basically they sold on ebay as much stuff as ordered but only paid for about 20% of it as it "was missing from the order".

Also we have a free wireless network in the office for visiting sales persons use etc. We detected an American fellow in the next office using it to download movies etc.

SO anyway, after a victim is identified the challenge is set. Find out everything you can.

For mr Ebay we were astounded at how much we could find including;
- Home address
- Date of birth
- Name of his wife
- Names & DOB of his children (getting iffy here), His wife was asking advice on a parenting forum, hence...
- ...we knew what illnesses his kids had (and when).
- Then we got photos....
It started out with "He's selling his Volvo on autotrader"
"I've got a picture of his house" (with volvo in foreground).
"I've got a picture of his wife and kids"...

That was pretty much where we decided to give up. There is online stalking but the wife and kids line was too far.

So you can imagine the amusement when we were able to get similar info on our next victim.

I wanted to print the picture out and put it under his car windscreen wiper.

Anyway, DON'T ABUSE THE FREE INTERNET.... 'cos we're watching ;)
