 Even though White Hat is correct that there are public databases with lists of legal names and addresses, lots of online interactions take place in forums where people adopt pseudonyms.  A viral quiz like this one could be useful for de-anonymizing users, a process known colloquially as "{{w|doxing}}". There is also a suspicion that these kind of viral quizzes are used to create databases to answer password recovery questions correctly. Together with a man-in-the-middle attack on the email system used, this can lead to hackers taking over user accounts.
-In the title text, it turns out that lots of users did not provide their personal information. Instead they provided fake information, which Hairy naively takes as truth.  The number '420' is associated with {{w|420 (cannabis culture)|the use of marijuana}} and the number '69' is used to refer to {{w|69 (sex position)|a sex position}}.  These two numbers have found their way into society from memes to [https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/14/elon-musks-tweets-the-model-s-will-be-price-at-69420-because-hes-a-child/#:~:text=Tesla%20CEO%20and%20resident%20meme,a%20whim%20and%20a%20joint.| car prices]. White Hat could also be taking the data at its word when he replies that there must be a {{w|high-rise building}} at that address to hold so many respondents, but it is more likely that he is making a sarcastic double-entendre pun.

 If Hairy had talked to [[Black Hat|''Black'' Hat]], he might have been told about [[792: Password Reuse|the time Black Hat made a bunch of free web services]] to harvest usernames and passwords.  Black Hat's project stalled when he realized that he didn't know what he wanted to do with the information he harvested, and Hairy's plan doesn't seem very well-thought-out past the "get personal details" step either.
