I just ran a report on a WEBSITE and they pretty much had all my information for anyone and everyone to see.  Is there a way to get that stuff taken off?  I googled digital footprints but didn't really find any helpful stuff.  Seemed like a lot of the links I clicked on were talking about Metadata that is stored on my hard drive but not stuff like my phone numbers, addresses, family, etc.  I would really like those things to be deleted but I have a feeling that's probably not going to happenWhat is the threat? Social Engineering

While I do not like the service that websites like hxxp://peekyou.com offer, the website is however a sobering reminder about how much information individuals put out to the world by joining social websites and using the Internet for any type of MEMBERSHIP based activity (email, Facebook, eBay, computer HELP forums etc,).
Anyone who thinks they are anonymous on the web these days are kidding themselves...
The public Internet by design was not meant to be private.

Even using software that "blocks" users from being tracked is misleading. Everything is logged by some server, somewhere. You can't get around that.Couldn't have said it better myself...i never said i thought i was anonymous.  i was just wondering if anyone had any tricks to at least minimize the amount of personal information that is available on the web.  apparently not Quote from: brianb22
