Abstract
Secondary leakage of private information is identified and remedied. Internet activity of a first party can result in such secondary leakage of private information of a second party. Information about the second party that would not otherwise be known becomes public based simply on related information that has been placed on a public site of a third party by the first party. Such disclosure is detected and the victim may be notified about the location. The victim can then decide if such secondary leakage is acceptable. If not, the first party or the third party may be notified, the activity may be stopped and the offending information can be removed.
