They think they can hide cause they had privacy on, but a simple whois history record will show the first entry.

Exactly. To check the uptime of my sites, I run a couple of scripts on 2 of my servers. Scripts that notify me when a site is down or something about their config is changed. one thing they do is a whois lookup at regular intervals... and my logs show that domains registered at namecheap (with whois privacy enabled during registration) sometimes (not always) have my personal info instead of the whoisguard info in the whois db for a short period of time (up to 1 hr for certain tld's).
btw: Name.com has similar issues.
