You may be wondering why should you and what will prevent other people from doing the same, in short you now know to change your privacy settings in Facebook so no one can view your friends/family list. So go ahead and update that now (I have a copy if you dont pay).

Consider how expensive a divorce lawyer is. If you are no longer in a committed relationship then think about how this will affect your social standing among family and friends. What will your friends and family think about you?

What should you do if you get an email like this?

• DO NOT pay the scammers. There are thousands of thousands of people with a copy of the data. You cannot unrelease it! It is not possible. Give up on that immediately. These emails are likely from someone sitting in an internet cafe in Nigeria. They are NOT from the Real Impact Team who did the hack. If you pay them their cousin down the way will all of a sudden send you an email asking for his share. No good can come from paying them.
• DO change your email from the one that is in the hack so the scammers get an Undeliverable Message when they send their next scam email.
• DO consider signing up for our Ashley Madison Protection Service.

You can contact us if you have any questions

Yesterday, on August 19th, a hacker group called The Impact Team publicly released an enormous 9.7 GB download of data from Ashley Madison’s servers.  

As has been mentioned throughout the media, the Ashley Madison hack released private information about Ashley Madison members, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and even information like highly private sexual fantasies.

Private information on as many as 37 million Ashley Madison users went public.

As the repercussions of the hack develop, many people are wondering how the hack may affect them personally and if there are proactive steps they can take to protect their reputations.

Make no mistake about it – the Ashley Madison hack DOES POSE a threat to any person whose information was publicly released yesterday.

Just today, headlines broke with the reality TV star Josh Duggar being found as one of the first celebrity users of Ashley Madison.  At the same time, The Impact Team continues to release more private data, impacting the lives and reputations of even more people.

The real danger is this: anyone can turn the private information that was publicly released in the hack into a nice, browsable format with a graphical interface – the exact type of information that climbs Google rankings.  

This means that Ashley Madison information will quickly be EVEN MORE accessible to the public and to friends and family.

Reputation.ca can offer assistance designed to protect your online reputation and good name from yesterday’s Ashley Madison data leak.  

The most important thing is to be proactive now.

Earlier this year, an announcement was made that will make a significant impact on company brand image and the online reputation management for businesses.  It was announced that 500 new Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) would be available for purchase and use by the public.  Not a big deal, except the fact that some of these newly-available domains include things like .sucks and .gripe and a number of other domain names that could cause very real trouble for the online reputations of companies.

Right now, businesses should focus on the .sucks domain.  That’s because on April 1st, a 60-day “sunrise period” began allowing companies to buy up the .sucks domain associated with their company (i.e. homedepot.sucks, target.sucks, etc.) and thereby protect their brand image.

Providing an opportunity for companies to buy up their .sucks domain before the domain is open to the public sounds like a fair and good idea. Unfortunately, there’s a wrinkle in the road, that wrinkle being a company that’s making it difficult, not to mention unfairly expensive, for companies to buy their .sucks domain.

Canadian-owned Vox Populi Registry Ltd. was given the rights to manage the sale of the .sucks domain.  However, how they are managing this responsibility has recently fallen into question.  Currently, Vox Populi is charging trademark holders up to $2,499 (U.S.) per year to have control over their .sucks domain.

Companies and the IP community have protested about Vox’s pricing, which is about 10 times more expensive than what the price will be for .sucks domains once they are open to the public.  What is perhaps worse is the fact that Vox plans to subsidize .sucks domains for $9.99 to interested parties on the third-party bulletin board, Everything.Sucks, which strikes of extortion.

So, in this situation, what should companies do?

Many big brands have given in and taken the ‘rather than safe than sorry’ route by buying up the .sucks domain associated with their brand.

It’s unfortunate that when working to obtain their .sucks domain, companies have little leeway other than dealing with Vox Populi.  At this point, it’s doubtful whether that will change during this sunrise period.

Therefore, for those companies that want to assure that their brand remains intact and that no .sucks websites suddenly appear in their Google ranking that criticize their business, it’s best that they purchase their .sucks domain, despite the exorbitant cost.

When it comes to protecting your brand against a viable online reputation threat, it’s important to act rationally and preventatively despite the unpleasantness of giving in to extortion.

Last Friday, Shark Tank invited Patrick Ambron to the show, who is the co-founder and CEO of the online reputation management company, BrandYourself.

What’s noteworthy about BrandYourself’s appearance on Shark Tank was that the show’s host, Robert Herjavec, offered a very large $2 million investment in BrandYourself in return for 13.5% of the company.

This $2 million proposal was the largest offering in Shark Tank’s history.

Although the deal between Herjavec and Ambron ultimately fell through, the amount that Herjavec was willing to front BrandYourself, and the confidence that Herjavec showed in the future of online reputation management, speaks well of the industry as a whole.

Like Reputation.ca, BrandYourself’s goal as a company is to help individuals and businesses improve their online profiles.

Suppression and/or deletion of negative content is how online reputation management firms improve the profiles of their clients. However, how online reputation firms go about suppressing negative content is a major point that has to be considered.  That’s because some suppression tactics are not only frowned upon, but can in fact further damage a client’s reputation.

Robert Herjavec was smart to offer $2 million for BrandYourself.  In part, because BrandYourself, like Reputation.ca, does not use “Black Hat” techniques to suppress negative online content.

What are “Black Hat” suppression techniques?

“Black Hat” suppression techniques include auto-generating client profiles and populating them without discrimination across the web; auto-generating links across the web; and keyword stuffing.  Tactics like these are not only a big no-no, they can incite a penalty from Google.  That means that a client’s image, far from being restored, will actually worsen.

Rather than depending on questionable techniques, firms like BrandYourself and Reputation.ca have the experience and the technical ability to improve client reputations in a way that is natural and credible.

The hallmark of Reputation.ca’s service is to create highly original, highly relevant content for each and every client.  Combining this type of high-quality content with proven optimization techniques allows Reputaiton.ca to provide client’s with real results on a competitive timetable.
