Glenn Hagele Threatens to Publish Social Security Numbers of LASIK
patients:
http://usaeyes.info/glenn-hagele/gle...-patients.html

The cyber-assassin Glenn Hagele is currently publishing injured LASIK
patients' personal information on his patient hate site. I suggest
these injured LASIK patients contact the Attorney General of
California and report him for maliciously exposing injured LASIK
patients to identity theft.

What's really phony about Glenn's Hagele's little 'newswire' is that
Brent Hanson was the one who published the material containing Glenn
Hagele's social security number, and Glenn Hagele knows it. Glenn is
about to lose a case he filed over this matter, because it is legal to
publish publicly available documents. If Glenn Hagele had kept his
nose clean, all of those embarrassing documents displaying his social
security number would not have been available to the general public.
They are out there in the public domain.

The documents probably would have rested quietly in an obscure corner
of a courhouse had Glenn Hagele not taken it upon himself to harrass
patients whose vision was damaged by corneal refractive surgery.

Glenn is now advertising the fact that his social security number is
out there HIMSELF! Perhaps he should be more concerned about the
content of the documents displaying his SSN. Now THOSE are some
embarrassing court documents! How can Glenn expect anyone to take him
seriously when court documents outlining his problems with the IRS,
failure to pay child support, tax liens on his house (CRSQA
headquarters) and bankruptcy are in the public domain.

Sorry Glenn... when you start stiffing your creditors and breaking
laws you lose some of your privacy.

The website is operating correctly.

The location of the publication of my personal identity is not
included in any public information release.

I spent several days this week meeting with lawmakers who support
changes that will clarify and strengthen applicable law regarding the
unauthorized publicizing of another person's private identity on the
Internet and by any other means. I have been working with staff of the
Attorney General, who has agreed to move against the perpetrator(s) in
my case.

The malicious publicizing of personal identity information, including
Social Security number is an important issue that affects everyone.

I just saw this posted on PR Newswire. "Newswire" is a bit of a
misnomer. PR is the operative term. This looks like a journal article,
but was most likely written by Glenn himself and at the very least was
sent to the website by him probably paid for with CRSQA funds.

Glenn, I don't understand why you are publicizing this so much. Aren't
you afraid of more retaliation and/or identity theft?

Is your goal to somehow publicly humiliate Nell Burch or are you
interested in increasing identity security on the web. To whom is this
press release directed? Who do you imagine your audience to be?

CyberAssassination: Social Security Numbers Publicized on Critics'

Public records with personal information vulnerable; lack of adequate

CyberAssassination: Social Security Numbers Publicized on Critics'
Websites

RALEIGH, N.C., Apr 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Internet bloggers
maliciously publicizing personal identity information including the
victim's Social Security number is emerging as a major identity theft
problem, and the information is often culled from online public records.

From her Durham, N.C. home Lauranell "Nell" Burch publishes a website
where she and others offer complaints about Lasik, the popular laser eye
surgery. Recently Burch's website began showing the personal and
financial information of Glenn Hagele, director of the Council for
Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance (USAEyes.org).

"This is a CyberAssassination; an Internet hit job," complains Glenn
Hagele, who founded the nonprofit USAEyes.org in 1997. "I've had my
Social Security number, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and
even samples of my signature publicized."

Burch attained Hagele's identity from public records and court documents
that had not redacted his private information. For decades the practical
obscurity of documents buried in government archives kept abuse to a
minimum. Public documents including lawsuits, divorce, bankruptcy, child
support, and even traffic violations may contain sensitive information.
The recent availability of public records over the Internet has renewed
the controversy between the public's right to know and an individual's
right to privacy. The line is further blurred by the subtle difference
between just obtaining a public document and publicizing it to millions
over the Internet, exposing the victim to identity theft.

"What's bizarre is that we had nothing to do with Ms. Burch or her
Lasik," says Hagele. "She did not seek our advice and did not use a
Lasik doctor affiliated with our organization." Hagele's concern extends
beyond his own financial identity. "Any advocate, anyone who voices an
opinion, any blogger, any identifiable group can become the target of
this kind of CyberAssassination. I deal with laser eye surgery and I've
been targeted. How safe is someone who raises a major controversy?"

Internet publication of personal identity data has become so problematic
that Google, the world's most popular Internet search engine according
to a 2006 Advertising Age analysis, has dedicated a web page for victims
to report incidents. A Software & Information Industry Association
analysis identified service institutions, especially Internet-based
service institutions such as USAEyes.org, as especially at risk.

Hagele contacted authorities seeking help in blocking access to his
identity information only to find them unable or hesitant to act.
"Legislation has not caught up with the Internet," says Hagele. A
patchwork of local, state, and national laws are often unclear.

Identity theft has topped the list of consumer complaints to the US
Federal Trade Commission for the last seven consecutive years,
constituting 36% of all FTC complaints in 2006.

Hagele is meeting with lawmakers, urging them to clarify and strengthen
privacy law.
