Personal Information - Phishing Attacks

Before a scammer targets specific individuals with phishing emails, they may begin by sending out less sophisticated messages that ask for sensitive information. They will then use those details to craft personalized messages and choose their victims in this way. Phishing attacks are some of the most common and serious cyberattacks out there, and this is why. They are an effective way for scammers to obtain information about their targets.

Personal Information - Data Breaches and Leaks

When registering for a service online, you may be asked to provide a great deal of personal information, ranging from your name and address to your banking details or social security number. While most companies go through a great deal of effort to protect this information, that does not stop hackers from attempting to break into their databases. In a successful attack, the malicious group or individual may be able to steal these records and distribute them online, often through illegal marketplaces on the dark web.

Personal Information - Public Records

Public records are another way to track down information about someone. Scammers make use of census, voting, property, and criminal records to find information about their target. These kinds of records are made public by the United States government, meaning scammers can obtain details about you without breaking any laws. Furthermore, there are many large data broker companies that search these public records and compile databases of personal information about people.

Personal Information - Social Media and Online Accounts

Most people today have at least one social media account, and chances are you have shared information about yourself and your activities on that platform. Whether it be Instagram, Facebook, or even LinkedIn, sharing information on these platforms means that anyone with access to your profile can see it. If your profile is public, then anyone (including scammers) can keep track of your profile and look for your name, where you live, where you work, who your friends are, and where you live. These, and many more details, can all be used against you in scams.
