Is the info on those people finder websites really worth worrying about? Isn't it just the low-hanging fruit of personal info made public? The dangerous stuff was hacked from some institution you are registered with and has been sold privately for the use of scammers and identity theft rings. Ive tried to find people on those public internet sites, and all I've found is wrong info, and bad phone numbers.
Great question. Worth losing sleep over? Not for most people. Data brokers get their info from ALL sorts of sources, and every individual has a different footprint. If you aren't showing up when you Google your name, you are one of the lucky ones 🙂 But even something as seemingly benign as a (correct) phone number gives thieves an additional point of attack. Some financial institutions, for instance, will use one's phone number as the answer to a security question. Not great. But if you aren't finding accurate information about yourself on these sites I wouldn't worry, but do check the search results occasionally to monitor.
@@homesecurityheroes Thank you for the reply. I don't usually find my name easily online because I have a common name. There used to be a website called howmanyofme (where did they get their info?) that told me there were nearly 1500 individuals with my name on the planet. My phone number and email address have shown up in data breach alerts that have been disclosed, but I've never seen an accurate password.
If they sold to a sketchy third party it would kill their business. But it's reasonable to not want to assume any more third party risk than you are comfortable with.
Why the fuck should anyone share their entire past with a website if all people want in the first place is to not have anyone know about that? I can't even begin to try and wrap my head around why someone who calls himself "Security Hero" suggests to share the most intimate personal information with any website!
It's ironic, right? If you want to reduce your PII out there, you are asked to submit your PII to an unknown third party. Some people choose not to, and we respect that.
