sure all your Internet profiles are secure and private. Go to Pipl and Spokeo websites and dox yourself. If you can find your information, so can any other person snooping around the Internet. Ensure you use different email addresses for different social media sites and accounts you have online. One email with many Internet/social media accounts equals one very big problem. Making matters worse, by using the same password for each and every one of these accounts, if one gets compromised, they all get compromised.
THE BOTTOM LINE Everyone has online vulnerabilities. Even if you are smart enough to stay off social media, employing agencies, medical providers, and others routinely leak your information. Everyone leaves a digital footprint online and completely cleaning it up is impossible. Watch
what you say and expect that all online communications are permanently archived and accessible by outsiders. Being responsible online goes a long way. Those of us in law enforcement have a very small expectation of privacy in the real world and an even smaller one online. Understanding how the Internet and social media work can go a long way toward preventing you or your family from being doxed.
