I’ve seen firsthand how vulnerable individuals and organizations can become when bad actors exploit their personal data. Throughout my career in digital privacy - first at DeleteMe and now at Picnic Corporation - I’ve witnessed how threat actors target journalists, public interest groups, women’s rights organizations, and LGBTQ communities, among others. These attacks often escalate, sometimes leading to devastating consequences. By removing personal data from online databases, we’re significantly reducing the risks for those who need it most. This work offers them a much-needed sense of security, a rare commodity in today’s increasingly hostile digital landscape. Our efforts ensure that families are protected, professionals can do their jobs without fear, and that no one has to face cyber threats alone.

Wanna know how "spies" get into companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, Perplexity, and more? Exposed data about people. Especially personal data. They use it to track, coerce, and manipulate. It's this information on the first page of Google that is most dangerous. Exposed PII >> People >> Crown Jewels This is a solvable problem with quantifiable results. Remove the data and it gets much harder for the bad guys. $100s of billions have been invested into these companies -- an ounce of prevention is worth a metric ton of the cure!!! https://lnkd.in/eTZq5fPs

?? Digital Executive Protection: Is Your C-Suite's Digital Footprint Your Biggest Security Blind Spot? ?? Our research of 10,000+ C-suite executives reveals alarming statistics: ?? 93% have home addresses exposed on data broker sites ?? 94% have plaintext passwords exposed and available to attackers ?? 100% have been caught in data breaches (avg. 43 breaches per executive) The consequences are no longer theoretical. From the 2024 deepfake scam that cost one company $25M to the tragic targeting of high-profile executives, digital exposure creates both cyber and physical risks. In our report, we explore: → Which executive roles face the greatest digital exposure (hint: it's not who you think) → Which industry sectors have the most exposed human attack surface → How attackers leverage personal data breaches to target executives and their families → Actionable strategies to reduce executive digital exposure Compromised privacy compromises security.

AI-powered cyber threats aren’t science fiction anymore. They’re happening right now. But a cyber attacker’s most valuable weapon isn’t a supercomputer or Terminator-esque AI program - it’s your data. In the past, threat actors relied on mass phishing emails, hoping someone would take the bait. Today, they’re more precise. They automatically collect personal details (home addresses, past employers, birthdays, and even answers to old security questions), assembling detailed dossiers on all of us. Then, with AI, they weaponize that information, using it to answer questions like: ?? What kind of email would convince this person to click? ?? How would their best friend ask them for a favor? ?? What specific words or phrases would make them lower their guard? These AI-led details make phishing emails and deepfake scams eerily convincing - even for the trained eye. But AI is just a tool - it needs quality input to generate believable output. If you remove that input, the system collapses. In other words, the real threat comes from the data fueling these attacks, not the AI itself. That’s why, at Picnic Corporation, we don’t just focus on stopping AI-powered threats. We also focus on continuously monitoring and safeguarding data so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Attackers are only as effective as the information they have. By reducing exposed personal information, we make these attacks ineffective. With no personal data and no convincing scams, all attackers can do is guess - which makes their scams much easier to spot. In the age of AI, effective cybersecurity goes deeper than stopping attacks - it cuts threat actors off at the source.

?? Insights from a research study by Picnic on more than 10,000 C-Suite executives in the USA ?? The vast majority of executives have a significant digital footprint, with over?93% of C-Suite members having a current or former home address visible via data brokers. On average, 11+ data broker profiles appear per executive. This level of exposure increases risks of stalking, doxing, and other forms of harassment, as an executive’s home address is easily available via a simple search.
