AOL Proudly Releases Massive Amounts of Private Data: three months’ worth of search engine queries… associated to AOL user accounts — anonymized, sure, but since people always look up their names and their relatives’, you can easily recognize someone you know and find out whatever they’ve been searching for the last three months. All of this as a public download.
