What the Web knows about you
by Daniel on Feb.18, 2009, under Security
Online privacy and the implications of data aggregation is a bit of a passion of mine, that’s part of what inspired me to write the thunderbird plugin.
Here’s an interesting story about one journalists discovery of what he found out about himself.
People wonder why identity theft happens, so much of our personal data is available online these days that it’s possible to build a fairly complete profile of anyone you want. Just one of the reasons everyone needs to be careful needs to be careful of what they post on social networking sites.
