What?

See how Bellingcat was "reverse" finding the identities of Russian citizens based on the cars they were owning. Too lazy to search for the exact links, this was around 2020-2021, something like that.

Later edit: Something like this [1], from late 2020: "Russian Vehicle Registration Leak Reveals Additional GRU Hackers". There were also some other articles with Google StreetView screenshots and the like, I won't search for them because even finding this one reference means I'm not doing something better with my time right now.
