That link is about the sears spyware story, not this one. And secondly, the Consumerist reported both stories last week. So what the hell are you talking about?

]]> <![CDATA[Sears Sued For Showing Everything Your Friends And Neighbors Have Ever Bought]]> I guess the consumerist doesn't bother to read its tips email since I forwarded a link about this last week when story broke. I guess I just won't bother next time.

Anyway, here is the ORIGINAL article:

If I want someone to know what I bought from Sears, I'll tell them myself...

Yep

curtains or blinds do wonders.

Showcasing your stealables in a window to where they can be seen from the street is not the smartest thing to do.

LOL!

Its much easier to just drive thru a neghborhood after dark. I work nights & leave for work at about 9pm & often see those wide-screen tvs through the windows of many homes. People are so stupid when it comes to protecting themselves.

Busted for using proxy software in an unapproved manner, busted for poor or improper disclosure of where the data is going what would be used, busted for poor security on the site.

Three strikes kiddo, yer outta the demographics business!

Perhaps the law firm involved in the suit could be posted. A vigorous legal swatting might remind Sears to pay more attention to customer data.

Washers, refrigerators, stoves, mowers, tv's, etc...

One of my family members had a dozen items, my house only had two, my parent's home had a handful...

]]> <![CDATA[Sears Sued For Showing Everything Your Friends And Neighbors Have Ever Bought]]> So when Sears notify you that someone looked at your information?

]]> <![CDATA[Sears Sued For Showing Everything Your Friends And Neighbors Have Ever Bought]]> I didn't feel like signing up to test this out the other day, but I'm wondering... how do they know who bought what? I don't get to Sears all that often, but I don't remember them asking where I'd be using the toolbox I bought two years ago.
