It's also not that hard to get the information from other sources too.

If your scenario happened in the 90s, it might have been before the DPPA law took effect.

The author has a clear bias and is using an event that took place before the protections were in place to further their agenda.

It would have been before DPPA.

However social engineers have no problem getting information. And private investigators are easy for anyone to hire. I doubt that the DPPA will slow a dedicated stalker much.
