I used that Google security function recently which goes off to see where you're mentioned and it happily said nowhere. I have a blog out there with numerous photos of my face on it but there's nothing linking my full name to it. I just Googled my name and found my Facebook profile though. This was using my shortened name which I generally use. Searching with my full name has nothing I can see. Weird.. my Google account uses my name to post Google reviews and I've done a couple but they didn't show up in a search.
Anyways.. feeling pretty ok about my online presence. I know all of my email addresses have been compromised but there isn't much I can do about that besides keep good MFA security and spam filters on those.
