My resume harvested by oncontracting.com very suspecious operation

Doesn't look like a startup or a legit business. I sent an email to info @ oncontracting and no response.

Quick search on google shows a bunch of pdf files in a php directory...

I seriously doubt their site is secure and can't help but think, how easy it is to harvest data but forget about the security basics.

Don't you think you're overreacting just a bit?

You had your resume somewhere it could be "harvested" -- and you're alarmed that a staffing agency found it?

Security basics?

Have you tried calling them? According to this yelp page (http://www.yelp.com.au/biz/mountainview-tech-staffing-los-al...), they're open right now.

I just re-read the headline I posted, I over did it.

I got an answer few hours later from their Twitter account saying they'll fix it.

Security wise I noticed my pdf had a naming format first_last.pdf stored in certain directory path under php_uploads.

Thanks for looking up the contact info I finally found the founder of the site on Angel.co & LinkedIn.
