AOL users - Your privacy has been exposed
Quote:
When everyone was worried about what Google can do with our search log AOL
decided to release the data to everyone at their own will. As stated on TechChurch a 500MB archive containing 20M search records from over 500k aol users was available for download from AOL?s site.
To protect user?s privacy AOL usernames were replaced with a unique id, the problem here is that even with this protection messure you can still find all searches a user has done and with a bit of skill you can match usernames to the ids provided by AOL.
