Letter Re: Spokeo and OPSEC

James Wesley Rawles April 5, 2010 April 5, 2010

Howdy,
Last night on the news I heard a report about a new web site called Spokeo that combines phone book information, map info, personal info and social networking site info to create a profile for people. [It is an OPSEC threat.] I typed in names for my family and was surprised at the amount of info that was available. You can go to their “Privacy” page (linked at the very bottom and on the right) to remove a name. I did it this morning and it already took us off. Just to let you know in case you also want to remove your info. Happy Easter! He is Risen! – T. in Oregon
