web
So I met someone who is a friend’s friend’s. (I could simplify it by saying I met someone through a friend.)I didn’t give him my number, but a friend gave him my email addr (office). And with that, he did a google search and …
Found out much more about me.
Granted that there are many other people with my name + family name, its not easy to figure out which one is really me, but, my company puts my picture on the web with my full name which makes searching easier!
The thing is that these sites are stuff which goes all the way back to university days. They just didn’t take down the page. I mean with my full name you can find out which university I was from, where I went for student exchange, what I did in school, which eventually even links you to my personal home page. (which gives even more information though it hasn’t been updated in years.)
Its creepy how much someone can dig out just through the web. Thankfully that person who did that isn’t some weird stalker psycho.
