bra1n··on Have I Been Facebooked?
That only holds for numbers already part of the dump. If you submit an unknown phone number that is not contained in the leak, hashing it before sending it will increase data privacy.
bra1n··on Scenes from Google Street View
Doesn't really look like a "kidnapping" if you look at the other pictures... In chronological order: https://www.google.com/maps/@-23.6334883,-46.5427111,3a,22.2... https://www.google.com/maps/@-23.6335274,-46.5427885,3a,35.9... https://www.google.com/maps/@-23.6335665,-46.5428658,3a,75y,... https://www.google.com/maps/@-23.6336099,-46.5429518,3a,19.2... https://www.google.com/maps/@-23.6336534,-46.5430378,3a,15y,... https://www.google.com/maps/@-23.6336968,-46.5431237,3a,15y,... https://www.google.com/maps/@-23.6337437,-46.543217,3a,15y,6...
