It would be very easy for someone to write a script that queries common first name surname combinations, or cross-references with public record/social media information, and then you’re back to the original problem.
Then you can charge ~a dollar per query. Or include some additional information in the key, like zip code. Or if you’re sophisticated enough, if the threats include photographs, you could require anyone submitting queries to submit a photo with matching identity.
I don’t believe that this information can’t simply be dumped on the internet “ethically,” and I don’t have a good model for precisely what requirements the author has made up, so I can’t offer good workarounds. If a bit of security theater is enough, my suggestion will do.
