What your HOA may be putting online about you

A scammer doesn't need to hack your homeowners association.

They may only need to look at information your community already makes available.

Meeting minutes, membership records and other association documents can contain details about the people who live in a community.

Depending on the HOA and state law, some records may be available to association members while others could appear on an association website or another online system.

You probably didn't put the information there yourself.

You may have no idea how much someone can learn about you.

Yet a name tied to an address or community can give a scammer useful details for making a call or message sound legitimate.

What your HOA puts online could reveal more about you than you realize.

Here's what to look for and what you can do about it.
