Finding a person's exact home address online, how difficult is it? - SIM-5022267 - Feb 18, 2022
Hi, this thread has more to do with self-protection than it is for attacking.
Recently, about 2 weeks ago, a complete stranger came by my home looking for me, he called out my name, but quickly left. Why this raises an alarm is at the fact that I have been a victim of cyberstalking for the past years, and have fought back with very offensive languages, even go so far as to humiliate them back and file a report, this not only made the situation worse, inducing their will for revenge, but also I think they've begun to advance to the next step, from cyberstalking to real life stalking, if my assumptions are correct.
I was wondering, how difficult, if even possible, for cyberstalkers to locate the exact place of their victim's home? For context, my Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, and other socials were found, but the problem is I don't use my real name on any of those social media accounts, as well as my real home address, only when ordering items online such as PayPal, or bank, amazon, etc. It should be near impossible, and even if they do find my real name, the home I live at is not registered under my name, my parents/siblings name are.
Further context, the cyberstalker I'm dealing with is in a group which consists of about 3-5 people total, they like to impersonate random strangers online, humiliate and defame them publicly, and they confessed to loving to ruin people's lives. They're all Asian, most likely on the autistic spectrum. I'm not the only person they've targetted. These guys can dig and find out almost everything there is to know about their target online, they're computer experts, one of them majors comp sci. They target all kinds of people, and stalk even random strangers from across the world, it's incredibly strange, for example, one of them lives in Vancouver Canada, and she has targetted someone from Germany.
Back to my main inquiry, what are information needed, tools, and ways to find a person's home address online? Is it possible? difficult?

From my personal experiences using someones social media accounts to get a home address,full name,phone,etc isn't at all hard if you know what your doing. Although it does get harder depending on the country of the person your looking for,age,etc.
As far as tools again it depends on the country of the person your looking for. For example if the person is in the US there's a lot of tools or sites that are open source and public for anyone that wants to use them.
Really srry your dealing with this, I hope this helps a bit. If you have any more questions you can feel free to PM/Convo me.

In terms of finding an address when you have their name and location. Most countries, it's not openly available, some countries it's openly available, and other countries it's available on a fee / subscription basis.

I don't think it should be too hard to figure out your personal info if they go digging long enough. I don't really know all that much about hacking but I do know that they probably got your IP address which is pretty much the general location of computer in the real world. I think they're ways to go about masking that. As for your social media stuff, I suggest getting rid of stuff like pics with your face in it or other personally identifying things and if that don't work, burn em all down an start a new account. Sorry if it's not much help but I wish you luck my friend.
