By Mike Spinney, HoGo (Document Protection Simplified)

John Sileo is a kindred spirit when it comes to fighting the good fight against data breach and identity theft. I met John about seven years ago when we were both part of a joint project to raise awareness over the issue of physical document protection and we’ve been friends ever since. I admire what John does to help make people more aware of their personal risk and take steps to prevent identify theft.

In addition to keynote speaking and his video series, Burning Questions, John is a frequent media source for stories about privacy and identity theft.
