This is how your data is being stolen through social media
How often do you share your personal details on social media? You may have shared general details like name, address, age, job, marital relationship.
What you may not know is that your seemingly simple personal details are being sold online by hackers at a high price for use in cybercrime.
The hacker, who identified himself as Tom Liner last month, did so in the name of fun. In the name of his fun, he hacked the database of 700 million users of LinkedIn around the world and sold it for about five thousand US dollars or five lakh 96 thousand rupees.
We are well aware of many such incidents. Such incidents have led to a debate over how to protect the personal details we share on our profiles.
In an interview with the BBC, Liner said the group that bought the data could use it for any other hacking purpose.
The incident raises serious questions about whether to post your personal details on social media. The hackers did not hack into any of the websites or social media servers.
This is a database created by collecting data that is generally kept public by the user. We ourselves can create a database by collecting general data that is kept publicly one by one.
But for such a large database, we need programming, which hackers have used to create this database. This year alone, there have been three major hacks.
In April, hackers hacked about 500 million records on LinkedIn, and in the same month, details of 1.3 million clubhouse users were made public.
In the same month, hackers leaked details of 533 million users, claiming to be Tom Liner. Even then, the hacker told the BBC that he could not speak on the phone and that he had hacked because he was interested in hacking.
He said that just as he hacked LinkedIn's data, he also hacked Facebook's data. He said he had collected the data after months of trying. He collected the data by hacking LinkedIn's application programming interface.
