I have a question for the computer people

there is someone claiming that he has gotten the following on a person simply because of his contact on SI.....

name address phone number social security number yearly income
tax figures age

now is there a computer hacker out there (not that you do it..but that you know how to do it) that can tell me how he did it...

does it come from getting the ISP from a post...is that possible from an SI post..

scary thought is it not that a nut could get this info about you because of your postings on SI

and if you can do it...then SI should think about putting in some security measure so that it cant be done...
