The recent abduction of the son of E. Kaspersky once again reminded: be careful when you talk about yourself on the Internet. The criminals found the guy according to information on the social network: they found out the address of his work, at home; where he studies and rests, an approximate schedule ...

“Thanks to the World Wide Web, you can find out everything about you, starting with the person you are talking to and ending with your bank account number,” said Roman Romachev, president of a business intelligence company.

In full view

AiF: - Roman, where can I gather information about a person?
Dossier
Roman Romachev - president, founder of the group of companies. FSB reserve officer. He has been working in the field of security and business intelligence for more than 12 years. Author of articles, business intelligence software products, business security.

RR: - People use different resources - websites of government departments, social networks, media, place ads. For example, on the website of the tax office, you can check the arrears of the transport or property tax and thus find out that the person has a car, apartment, cottage. On the sites of announcements you can see that a person is selling something - what he owns, a phone number, comes into view. In social networks, they post information about the circle of communication, work, photos with families. Job search sites host resumes with data on places of work, studies, contacts. Often resumes are not closed so that employers can view them. So for each you can collect a fairly extensive dossier. It is no secret that court bailiffs find debtors through social networks.

And anyone can contact the business intelligence agency. Often they ask to collect a dossier for a doctor - the client is going to have an operation and wants to be sure of it. We check the qualifications of the doctor, reviews. The same applies to teachers, nannies, tutors. Frequent customers are employers checking a potential employee. These are not only companies looking for top managers. After all, even a cleaning lady can have access to information that is a trade secret. Many employers want to make sure that the candidate indicated in the resume the actual places of study and work, they want to know with whom he communicates. The second category of customers is the security services of banks and other financial institutions. And entrepreneurs are checking potential partners. Once an order came from the Americans. A rich Russian came to them and offered interesting projects. We found out that the man was sitting for fraud, and then changed his name and began a new life.

Fake

AiF: - And often a fraud is revealed?
By the way
? In Singapore, there is a website where you can get information about the owners of any company.
? In the USA, having driven a person’s name into a special search engine, you can find out if he was held administratively or criminally liable. On the Internet you can find out how much American civil servants earn.
? More than 50% of Britons dream of removing information about themselves from the Web. 35% admitted that, without thinking about the consequences, they laid out the facts that compromised them.

RR: - About 20% of the tested are trying to hide information. They exaggerate the importance of previous workplaces, are silent about administrative and criminal liability, purchased diplomas about education pop up. There was an interesting case: a major politician asked me to find out what his girlfriend was. With the help of social networks, we got in touch with her, made friends, talked for about a month, even met. As a result, all information about her became available to us, including of an intimate nature, which was reported to the customer.

The Italian, with our help, checked his Russian bride. It turned out that she had a fake passport!

AiF: - What information can never be posted on social networks?

RR: - The main thing is the safety of children. Keep track of who they are chatting with on the web, and who they’re adding as friends. Advise them not to register under real names - preferably under fictitious ones. Do not tell age, place of study. Information is often used by pedophiles, other criminals. And adults are better off using a pseudonym. Do not upload photos showing your apartment, car, children, relatives - someday this can become a trump card in the wrong hands. If your page is closed, hacking it is not a problem. Although this is a crime, but there are people who offer such services.
