Use it. You know, when you're a business owner like we are, putting yourself out there, that's part of the job, right? But here's the uncomfortable truth. Promoting your business leaves you and your team completely exposed. Right now, 90% of business owners have their home address, their home address, easily discoverable online. And the average owner has more than 600 pieces of personal information just sitting on the open web. We're talking your personal email, personal email, your phone number, your home address, even details about your family. And of course, hackers use this data to run hyper-targeted phishing attacks. That's why we started using DeleteMe. They have your real details. And because they do, they don't sound like strangers. They sound like clients or partners you already trust. And yeah, we fell for it. Attacks using verified personal information are five times more likely to succeed. And the average incident costs small businesses more than $120,000 and one in four businesses will be impacted this year alone. That's where Delete Me comes in, reducing your exposure by up to 95%. We immediately called Delete Me because they knew all the information about our employees. It made those phishing attacks so much more effective. Delete Me removed our personal information, our employees' personal information, from hundreds of data broker websites, starving hackers of the fuel they use to build their target lists. And it's not just a one-time thing. Delete Me constantly monitors and removes your data. They have to because these guys keep coming back. And Delete Me will send you regular privacy reports so you always know where things stand. We just got one the other day.
