Watch What You put on Social Networks

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic or sign up to my Email Newsletter.

So I was at work today and I get a call on my work phone. It was a company that wanted to talk about their equipment and asked if I was the security administrator at my work. I told them no I was and I gave them my job title.

I asked the guy how he got my name and he said he found it on Linkedin. Then I said I think it is time to stop talking. He then asks about another guy on the IT department and then I hung up with him. It is just really bad about these companies cold calling. I am not going buy something from you if You are doing this.

After the conversation I changed my profile security settings on Linkedin. Just watch what you say and what you put on your profiles. Have you had this done at work before?
