I’d think they were already mass storing data at that point. Just your typical person wouldn’t have access to it over the internet. You’d think a terminator could access those networks though.
Of course I think this scene was using the dog’s name? Probably your dog’s name wasn’t in the Publisher’s Clearing House mainframe tapes, like it would later be available on Facebook.
Well they would have storage of key data points like criminal history, citizen level data, social security/tax stuff and disconnected medical data. But it’s not something a T-1000 would be able to easily plug into a phone jack and get all in 1 quick swoop.
