The amount of Upwork freelancers who just openly post all data on random people on a publicly accessible g drive doc is what makes Upwork a wonderland for phishing and identity theft.

I was about to say, is that allowed? I'd be real furious if my data was published like that in someone's profile. (I once had my identity stolen)

I'm sure if it's brought up it'll be taken down, but really it's done all the time. If you wanted to steal people's identity, you just need to do a search on data entry at $3/hour and you'll find tons of openly accessible spreadsheets that you can use to create financial accounts. Ain't it great?
