another geolocation secfuck leading to people being harassed by idiots because "why would someone think the map marker our database provides is accurate"

quote:

Earlier this week, I reached Thomas Mather, a co-founder of MaxMind, via email. I told him Joyce Taylors story, and how Id discovered MaxMinds involvement in the IP mapping part of it. I asked him if he knew anything about the default coordinates that were placing unidentified IP addresses on the Taylors property.

Mather told me that the default location in Kansas was chosen over ten years ago when the company was started.

He continued: At that time, we picked a latitude and longitude that was in the center of the country, and it didnt occur to us that people would use the database to attempt to locate people down to a household level. We have always advertised the database as determining the location down to a city or zip code level. To my knowledge, we have never claimed that our database could be used to locate a household.

But people do use it that way. Five thousand companies draw information from MaxMinds database. And most casual internet users dont know anything about IP mapping defaultsthey just know that when a website tells them that their scammer lives in Potwin, Kansas, they get in the car and go.

pretty sure I did yours. the receipt only lists 6 names, though it shows the quantity as 10, so idk what's going on there. zdr?

but now I wonder if I hosed it up and just didn't put the tag in like a goddamn moron.

every time MaxMinds database has been queried about the location of an IP address in the United States it cant identify, it has spit out the default location of a spot two hours away from the geographic center of the country

they couldn't tell the user it couldn't be identified. how hard is it to just have it return that

update on that TP-Link smart switch: I cracked it open because I do that to things and inside it's sporting a 400Mhz SoC designed for home routers complete with onboard 4-port fast ethernet switch and USB port (both not wired to anything of course). I think DD-WRT has support for this chipset.

there's also a suspicious tiny 5 pin connector which might be a serial port. this thing is probably running linux. of course it loving is.

i've used it a lot and if you actually look at the response it gives back it DOES say that they could only be identified to the country level, and then gives the coords of the country.

it's just that most applications loving ignore that and just plug whatever coords it gets directly into whatever they're doing and pretend like that's 100% accurate because developers are lazy fucks
