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.
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
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.
It’s probably Palantir doing their thing now that LN has sold it’s wares to ICE
I worked for a financial institution that used their services to try and locate account holders with undeliverable mail.
I used to work for a Sheriff’s Office that used this system. It was a mass center of consumer and civilian data.
OE rise.
