The article said that the stalker got her personal details by paying people who were closer to her. In one case he did math homework for a classmate who knew her in exchange for information. A pseudonym doesn't help much if people who know you in real life sell you out.

But financial transactions usually have fairly high scrutiny - you can't expect to be anonymous and do business.
