From 89 to 2000's my country only had a single phone company, and I got to work there for a few years. I wasn't at all anyone special in there, a senior tech manager. My computer (along with everyone else's apart from people with starting positions like phone secretary, etc) had access to a completely unrestricted client database based around a very old homebrew CRM module, and basically it had all info on all people in the country who ever had a phone, be it mobile or landline. Name last name address, post index, personal citizen code (it's like american Social Security Number), floor plan, banking details, age, etc. Full dox on everyone. You could connect an HDD and basically copypaste all of it for private use if you wanted. I never did, but I did find a lot of distant relatives my parents never really talked to and forgot about, and actually made friends with a distant cousin and an aunt who became my bookkeeper when I changed jobs to start a company. I could've just as easily like stalked some chick I liked or taken a bunch of money in the bank under some enemy's personal info or stuff like that. And as a tech I had the ability to turn off anyone's phone starting from next month and make their number free to be bought and used by someone else. And the system didn't log stuff like who turned off who's number, because we all (around 200 of us in the whole country) worked under one login info. Nobody ever thought to keep that thing secure or at least monitor who accesses the database and for what reason. I hope that at least nowadays when we are in EU and have all those privacy laws, they don't give such power to simple techs.
