CEO of Data Privacy Company Onerep.com Founded Dozens of People-Search Firms
Summary: Krebs on Security found that Onerep.com, a data-removal service marketed to individuals, families, and companies, is run by founder and CEO Dimitri Shelest from Minsk, Belarus, and that his email addresses appear in WHOIS records for at least 179 domains, including dozens of people-search sites such as Nuwber.com. Shelest acknowledged an ownership stake in Nuwber but said there was "zero cross-over or information-sharing with OneRep," while Onerep's site states it is not associated with Nuwber.com.
Why it matters: A company charging $8.33 to $15 a month to remove personal data from nearly 200 people-search sites was founded by someone with registration records tied to at least 179 domains, many of them people-search services, which is the conflict a security leader is being asked to accept when a vendor offers employee data-removal as a benefit.
