Oracle knew you bought prenatal vitamins at CVS. Oracle knew you read parenting articles at 2 AM. Oracle knew your home address, your email, your phone number, and the name on your credit card. And Oracle merged all of it into a single profile and put it up for sale.

In this episode:
- The BlueKai data exposure: billions of records on an unprotected server
- How invisible tracking pixels follow you across the internet
- The AddThis share button: a Trojan horse on 15 million websites
- Cross-device identity resolution: linking your phone, laptop, and TV
- The $115 million class action settlement that covered every American adult
- Oracle’s ID Graph: one profile to rule them all
