I received, a pretty elaborate, and, disgusting, threatning message today (on youtube).  Some guy, basically threatned to slit my throat blah blah blah.  Now, if I was reading this, I'd say, dude ignore it, but it is ever so slightly different when it's you.  The message goes into all sorts of detail, as if its the alternate script to a chucky movie or something.  There is a link to a video on youtube, that, is, just fucked up.  But what is getting me more so, is it says, and I am getting your info.

I remember, when I was going for an interview, a friend of mine talking about how you can contact companies to check personal information on people.  My question is, can you really just do that? 

Am a bit un nerved sitting here.  Probably more so because of the video.  The message it's self, did seem somewhat manufacutred.  But, I dunno, what are your thoughts?

I contacted youtube, but so far I have had no reply.
give the guy some random email addy and tell him to reply to you asap so you can kick his ass...  he'll try to talk tough and send you an email... then trace his IP from the header in his email message and send him a google map to his house and tell him he better have his gun loaded.

just make sure, you do not post too much information on the net. and if you do, do not make them cross referable, like a link on your myspace to your bf2 stats and so on...

For one thing, rough geographic location.

Assuming that it's in the hostnames at all, how is that personal information by any stretch?

Rough geographic location + name + electoral register = home address.

Sorta depends on that data being available to the public where you are, and again, the hostnames being remotely indicative of geographical location in a general context. In any case, a lookup of an IP scope belonging to any ISP will almost always give you a closer approximation than router hostnames.
