Court orders Radaris and 13 other data broker domains transferred to Atlas Data Privacy Corp under New Jersey's Daniel's Law
A New Jersey court has ordered radaris.com and 13 other domains in the Radaris family of people-search sites transferred to Atlas Data Privacy Corp. The ruling came after the defendants repeatedly failed to appear and defend a suit alleging violations of Daniel's Law, which requires data brokers to remove personal information of law enforcement officers, judges and other government personnel on request, with fines of $1,000 per violation. On August 26 the judge found that the defendants had been given multiple chances to appear and had not done so. Radaris is run by co-founders Igor and Dmitry Lubarsky of Massachusetts, who built the business partly around a fictitious CEO, "Gary Norden". The company's counsel is pursuing a motion to vacate the default judgment and plans appeals, arguing the transfer is an unconstitutional forfeiture. Daniel's Law itself faces a First Amendment challenge from other data brokers, and the Third Circuit has not yet ruled.
Detalhes técnicos
- Atlas obtained more than 10,000 emails and documents in discovery. It says they show radaris.com and at least 25 other people-search sites are a single operation run by a small Boston-area group. Administrative, financial and technical functions reportedly sit on the difive.com mail domain and its successors (centerex.com, scienteco.com, eprofit.com, realmo.com, pub360.com).
- The nominal legal entities (Radaris America, Inc.; Bitseller Expert Limited; Digital Orbit Corp; Core Solutions Group Inc; Lucky Solutions Inc; Virtura Corp; Veripages Inc.; Nuform Solutions Inc.; Growth Data Advisors Inc.; Property Experts, Inc) allegedly share administrators, mailboxes, payment cards and one virtual office address.
- Atlas says it saw shifting shell entities in the Marshall Islands, British Virgin Islands, Seychelles and Cyprus (Bitseller Expert Limited, then Andtop Company). One Marshall Islands entity named as manager did not yet exist when Atlas investigated.
- Atlas says the emails show radaris.com earning about $42,000 a month, Veripages.com about $45,000 a month through a partnership with Lifetime Value Company, and the Radaris sites up to $25,000 a month from a partnership with Onerep.
- Roughly 150 other data brokers are being sued by Atlas, and at least 70 of those cases have been moved to federal court. At least 14 states have passed laws modeled on Daniel's Law, while West Virginia's version was ruled facially unconstitutional in August 2025.
- The article also mentions the recent IDScan.net breach, which exposed driver's license data on more than 153 million Americans, as an example of weak federal privacy protections.
Remediação
The article gives no technical remediation. Officials covered by Daniel's Law can submit removal requests to data brokers, and the commentary calls for comprehensive federal privacy legislation.
