Sysoon

Sysoon operates as a global online memorial and genealogical resource, providing a searchable database of over 120 million death records. The platform serves as a digital cemetery and a social network for individuals to find information about deceased friends, family, and famous people across more than 72 countries. Users can create online memorials, upload photos and biographical information, and search for individuals by name, date of death, or location at no charge. The public availability of such extensive personal data, including names, dates of birth and death, and sometimes even Social Security numbers, poses a significant risk of identity theft and fraud against the deceased. Malicious actors could potentially exploit this information to open fraudulent accounts or file false claims. To mitigate these risks, individuals should be cautious about the information they publicly share about deceased relatives and can request the removal of memorials from the platform.
