Marie Boran from The SiliconRepublic.com challenged me recently to steal her identity.  I had to work within the following parameters;

• I could do nothing illegal
• I could only use information gleaned from online sources
• I could not contact or collaborate with any of her friends or colleagues.

So to this end our keyboards at dawn challenge began and I fired up Google to see what I could find out about Marie.  Suffice it to say that after much searching and cross referencing I was able to gather enough information to build up a false identity in her name.  The information I got included

• Her name
• Her date of birth
• Her father’s name
• Her Mother’s name
• Her home address
• Her education details
• Her professional details
• Personal information on what her likes and hobbies were and also what blusher she likes to wear. 

Marie has provided a write up of the challenge on The SiliconRepublic.com.

For those of you outside of Ireland would the above information be enough to steal the identity of someone in your country?
