Leaked data - who is to blame? Perhaps so conceived

Today at 9:30 the call to the mobile MICRO , called it by name and asked: " Is it true that you have achieved success in the last 2-3 years? ". At 10 I got a call with the same question. I had a little more patience (and interest in what was happening), so, unlike the MICRO , I did not immediately get angry, but decided to find out what they wanted from me.
To the question about where my name and telephone number are from, I was told that I was registered on their website (a specific, unknown to me site was named). When I said that I didn’t know anything about their website, they asked me: “ And you don’t know anything about the 20th of December? ” I showed no interest. Meanwhile, on the site you can read that even some ministries of the Russian Federation participate in the organization of the propiar event, among others.

And now attention, the question is: where did they get the “phone number + name” bundle?


There are two links between me and MICRO : it is a university and a job. It is unlikely that the company scattered such data. Yes, and the university is no need. It turns out, the data from social networks . But at least my page is closed. More suspicious operators. But we have different telecom operators, so this option seems to me unlikely.

In any case, the conclusion suggests itself that some structures have enough karma to view inaccessible data by simple metric ones.

In the comments I propose to unsubscribe to those who have received a similar call in recent days in order to draw joint conclusions about the source of information about us.

And there we will decide whether to fall into paranoia or not :)

UPD 13:10 : one more person to whom called was responded. Now three have one coincidence: university. Comments from him: This is the only number registered to me, but I rarely use it (only outside Moscow). It should not be on the Internet at all, as in the dean's office.
UPD 14:37 : +1 people from my university , +1 people from another university .
UPD 15:01 : the only person at the moment from another university has been deleted from the list: other people called him for other reasons.
UPD 15:27 : +2 people from the same university.
The current data on the connection between the phoned around: 6 people, all students of the same university, everything is VKontakte.
There is a version that the data are “merged” by a university employee. Not yet confirmed. There is an argument against: one of those who are ringing around claims that his number is not only in the university, but in general, on the Internet is not "lit up."
There is no longer any argument against this version: it was the “merged” number that was called from this number.

The investigation is over. The data were issued by a university employee. Thanks to Vinos Habrayuser!
