She encouraged people to change their phone numbers if they have been receiving many prank calls.
With the extensive reach of the internet, it can be difficult to know what information about yourself might be floating out there in the interwebs.
Singaporean DJ Jade Rasif was recently alarmed after discovering a website that has published the names, addresses, and phone numbers of more than 100,000 Singaporeans, and took to social media to raise awareness about it.
Website had her old phone number and address
Jade posted on Instagram and Facebook in the early hours of Thursday (Jan. 28) to share her experience with the website, LocateFamily.com.
"Guys I’m freaking out," she said.
Jade said that she first came across the website after talking with a friend during the filming of an episode of Just Saying, a YouTube series that Jade is a part of.
The friend mentioned that she had a foreign stalker who got hold of her private information.
This prompted Jade to do an online security check of her own information, which led her to realise that some of her personal information was already published publicly on LocateFamily.com.
The website listed her name, old address, and old phone number.
Luckily, she said, she tends to change her address and phone number every year, so the information was already outdated.
