Big Data Can Figure Out Who's Buying What, Even With Names and Numbers Withheld from Credit Card Information

Well, sort of. The idea is that given three months of shopping history, with no names or numbers attached, Big Data techniques can figure out who you are anyway, or at least can match your records to your name (if given your name on a list).

When I read that, I thought: Assuming Big Data has you offering information under your name, such as your location on FourSquare, or saying things like "I just bought an aquarium" on social media.

And that is in fact what they mean.

But so many people dribble out so much of that sort of information... Pretty much, for most people, if you exist online at all, they know who you are and they know what you're buying or just browsing.

Your shopping habits can expose who you are even when you are just one of a million nameless customers in a database of anonymous credit-card records, according to a new study that shows how so-called metadata can be used to circumvent privacy protections in commercial and government databases.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, writing Thursday in the journal Science, analyzed anonymous credit-card transactions by 1.1 million people. Using a new analytic formula, they needed only four bits of secondary information--metadata such as location or timing--to identify the unique individual purchasing patterns of 90% of the people involved, even when the data were scrubbed of any names, account numbers or other obvious identifiers.
...

Researchers drew on records of purchases over a period of three months by shoppers at 10,000 stores, provided by an unnamed bank in an undisclosed country. Each transaction was time-stamped with the day of purchase and linked to a shop.
...
After isolating a purchasing pattern, researchers said, an analyst could find the name of the person in question by matching their activity against other publicly available information such as profiles on Linkedin and Facebook , Twitter messages that contain time and location information, and social-media "check-in" apps such as Foursquare.

So, like, Be More Paranoid.

I am definitely trackable in many ways (usually use a credit card for purchases), but I'm at least going to make you work to figure out what I bought at Kohls or Aldi.

46 Here's a Big Data thing I predict.

A lot of us commenter types, myself included, like to use fake names and pseudonyms around the net.

Here's what I expect to happen in the future.

You take a block of text written by some fake-named, anonymous coward (like me). You feed that text into Big Data De-Anonymizer Machine.

The De-Anonymizer then looks at vocab and style and sentence construction ... and pulls up all the other names you've been writing under for the last 20 years on the web.

And, if you have any writing samples on the net with your real name, it'll pull that up, too.

Privacy is dead. And it's only gonna get deader.

51 So after looking at credit card purchase data and and social media posts from people who talk about things they just bought, we are able to connect the two things.

This doesn't seem like something that is that hard to do (assuming one has access to the CC data and can efficiently mine social media--a big if, but not too big an if for a govt or big corp) or that shocking.

The easy answer to this is to stop sharing so much trivial information. New flash: the people you know don't really care about this stuff, the only people who do are those that want to do you harm.

59 So a future defense tech from Big Data De-Anonymizer will be software that takes text you write, and re-writes it in another style.

Of course, for writer-types, that defeats much of the fun of writing and developing your own voice. But it will make it more anonymous. Also dull and boring.

91 You take a block of text written by some fake-named, anonymous coward
(like me). You feed that text into Big Data De-Anonymizer Machine.

The De-Anonymizer then looks at vocab and style and sentence
construction ... and pulls up all the other names you've been writing
under for the last 20 years on the web.

Already exists, in some fashion. That's what Jack Cashill did with Bill Ayers and Dreams of My Father, and how plagiarism-detection software used by college profs works.

Here's how this transaction is going to go: I'm going to give you a wad of $20 bills, 9 of them to be exact and you're going to hand me a bag full of electronic components, a receipt and change in the amount of $11.13.

So I have never filled out the form for those linking my name and address to my purchase history (cashiers don't care - they'll just give you one w/out the form).

A proper hash function is one-way, and requires brute-forcing to reverse. That said, shorter hashes can be brute-forced much more easily. I don't imagine the ban hammer does this, as it most likely already has IPs. They're just scrubbed out of the data at some point before comments are displayed.

176 A proper hash function is one-way, and requires brute-forcing to reverse. That said, shorter hashes can be brute-forced much more easily.

177 Right, the anti-plagiarism stuff is already there. But that works more on exact matches, not smart enough to detect style. Or sense of humor. Or even topics.

But most of us have certain hobby horses and issues we talk about more than others. Big Data De-Anonymizer will notice that sort of stuff.

If you have certain jokes or turns of phrases you like to use. Or if there are certain topics you like to talk about that aren't super typical ... it will ID you.

Who's the guy here who often gets angry about Red States and "Red" being used to ID conservatives when it used to be the color of Commies and the Left. He would often rant about that. Nobody else would. It really bugged him. Big Data De-Anonymizer would notice stuff like that. The topics you like to talk about that are specific to you.

I was lucky enough to learn that lesson back in 1998 when someone dug up some info I'd posted elsewhere under the same nym and quoted it back to me. That was the end of that.

Anyone with access to the right data can find out anything they need to, and I don't have any illusions about that... but I make it hard on everyone else.

Last year, a friend of my mother's from 30 years ago went searching for her online through relatives - any info she could get her hands on - and assumed I must be dead. When she finally got in touch with my mom, she was literally waiting to give her condolences.

I know there have been states trying to mandate id requirements for all cash purchases and people pointing out that this would include yard sales.
