Be afraid. Be very afraid.
We all know that Google rules the world. Kinda. Now this search engine Godzilla is getting set to make even more of our lives available to...everybody.
State governments maintain scads of personal information, and many make these public records available online. Until recently, however, the files haven't been indexed by Google (or by other searchmeisters, like Yahoo and Microsoft), mainly because they couldn't understand the government file formats.
But the times, they are a-changin'.
Google is now providing free consulting and software to help make this information easily searchable by these, and other, search engines. That means by friends, family and - here's the scary part - foes. Notably the ones that want nothing more than to use any tool available to steal your identity and rob you blind.
It's like handing out keys to your safe deposit box.
To date,
The point here is that increasing types and amounts of personal information stored online are being indexed by search engines. Anything seems fair game. So if you're using one of these online storage sites - free or not - you'll have to wonder if your private files have become fair game.
This is precisely what sets iForem apart. No document stored in an iForem digital archive will ever be accessible by searchbots. Period. No exceptions.
Don't give digital pirates a piece of your action. Give yourself perpetual peace of mind instead.
