plugsocket Opened it #1
Was reading the privacy threads here and got curious, so I ran my own profile photos through a reverse image search to see what would come back. Expected nothing. Got everything.
The main photo I use, which I thought was innocuous, is the same one I used on a hobby forum profile about three years ago. That forum profile has a username. That username is one I have used elsewhere. Three clicks later I am looking at a page with my full name and the town I live in.
Total time, about a minute. I was not even trying hard. I was on my sofa.
Nobody has done this to me as far as I know. That is not really the comfort I want it to be, because the whole point is that I would not know.
So: replacing all the photos this weekend with ones that have never been anywhere else. Anything else I should be checking while I am in here? I would rather do the whole sweep once than discover another one of these in six months.
