This joint Cybersecurity Advisory identifies commonly exploited controls and practices and includes best practices to mitigate the issues.

AppFolio background checks can be a nightmare. They pulled up outdated info on my record and almost cost me a rental. The landlord didn’t even double-check—it was an instant denial based on stuff that was already cleared years ago. It’s wild how much power these tenant screening services have with zero accountability. A lot of people don’t even know you can dispute these reports or that mistakes happen all the time. This article from Consumer Attorneys PLLC breaks it down really well: https://consumerattorneys.com/article/appfolio-background-checks-everything-you-need-to-know. It covers what kind of info they pull, what can go wrong, and how to fight back. Definitely worth reading if you’ve been denied housing and suspect something on the report isn’t right.
