An example of the many many emails I have received.

I was seriously getting damn pissed off because I have two email address, one for personal use and one for corporate. End up both getting junk emails you know!!! To make this matter worse, I started getting unknown caller ID and calls from abroad. Until one day, I suspected Godaddy account as I previously set up a dummy website with them for a domain account. So I started googling too on how to remove my contact details as soon as possible.

And yes, I'm right. They did sell the information. To make it private, I would have to pay $12 for the protection of my personal information of my domain.

Wtf. This does not make sense. I have to pay so many things just because I've made a mistake of keying my actual information into the godaddy setup page? I was seriously damn pissed off. I was thinking about it the whole day yesterday and I went to ask my groupmates about it. And my friend actually did a lookup and.... actually found all my details including my mobile number, home address and email address.

I was honestly shocked beyond words. I mean legitly anyone can use this information against you if you are not aware of the risks involved with public domain? I did a quick look out, and found out that some of the bloggers did not change their information either which I could simply do a quick search on a site that gives you everything.

I'm still contemplating if I should put the site for checking here, but I guess better not. Else everyone will be searching their favourite influencer or youtuber LOLLOL

Anyway, this is what I have found too:

Finally solved the mystery and changed my information! And ever since, I did not receive any emails anymore. if you are wondering if your information is leaked, drop me an email here!

I will help you check and tell you how to remove it asap.

Let's bring more awareness about public domains and the danger and hopefully more people are aware of this! :)
