The Inefficiency of People-Search Removal Tools, Massive Data Breach Impacting U.S. Citizens

from Shared Security Podcast · host Tom Eston, Scott Wright

In episode 342, we discuss the effectiveness of people-search removal tools like DeleteMe and Reputation Defender, based on a study by Consumer Reports. We also cover how almost every American's social security number has potentially been stolen by hackers and shared on the dark web. Scott and Tom talk about the importance of protecting your personal information and methods to do so, including manually removing data and placing credit freezes. Plus, we touch on Canada's privacy laws and wrap up with our Aware Much segment. Stay safe, stay secure, and stay private!
